The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S16M is a robust, high-performance autoswitch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring IP67/IP69K sealing, strong tactile feedback, and reliable NO/NC/NO functionality, it delivers exceptional durability with 1,000,000 cycles and operates within -40°C to +85°C temperatures. Ideal for applications requiring precise switching under harsh conditions.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S16M is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial applications where environmental resilience and precise switching performance are critical. With a compact design, IP67/IP69K sealing, and strong tactile feedback, this switch ensures dependable operation in extreme conditions while maintaining low contact resistance and high cycle life. Its robust construction supports continuous use in demanding environments, from manufacturing lines to outdoor installations, without compromising on electrical performance or durability.
The IXP5S16M excels in harsh industrial settings with IP67/IP69K certification. This ensures complete protection against dust, water immersion, and salt spray, while maintaining shock resistance to 100 g impacts. The switch operates reliably across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for outdoor installations and high-stress environments without degradation.
With a 100 mΩ max. initial contact resistance and 1,500 Vrms dielectric strength, the IXP5S16M ensures minimal electrical interference and robust isolation. Gold-plated contacts support 100 mA at 28 VDC for 1,000,000 cycles, while silver contacts handle 2 A at 28 VDC for 100,000 cycles, providing reliable performance for both low and high-current applications.
Engineered for precision, the switch features a 2 mm total travel (±0.3 mm tolerance) and strong tactile feedback for consistent actuation. Its robust construction, including no space between actuator and bushing, ensures long-term mechanical stability and minimal wear during repeated operations.
The IXP5S16M delivers precise switching with a contact bounce of 10 ms and 1,000,000 cycle life. It operates within a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring consistent performance in both extreme cold and high heat, while maintaining low operating force (7 N for NO, 8.5 N for NC/NO).
