The APEM KG463A2RXB246X is a double-pole, sealed IP65 autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial applications. This panel switch features a black bezel, silver contact materials, and a red lens on Side A with 24V filament lamps, while Side B operates without LED illumination. Designed for high reliability, it delivers robust performance in extreme conditions with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and meets stringent environmental standards including shock resistance (100 g), vibration resistance (10-500 Hz), and salt spray resistance. The switch supports 10 A 12 VDC and 8 A 24 VDC electrical functions with an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. at 1 A 2 VDC and electrical life of 10,000 cycles.
The KG463A2RXB246X supports 10 A 12 VDC and 8 A 24 VDC electrical functions. It features an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. at 1 A 2 VDC, ensuring low resistance for efficient current flow. The switch demonstrates 10,000 cycles electrical life minimum and 1,000 MΩ min. insulation resistance at 500 VDC, providing reliable performance in high-voltage environments.
Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch meets IP65 protection standards, ensuring dust and water resistance. It withstands shock resistance of 100 g (IEC 512-4, test 6c) and vibration resistance from 10-500 Hz at 10 g (IEC 512-4, test 6d). Additionally, it passes salt spray resistance testing, making it suitable for marine or corrosive environments.
The switch operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, enabling use in both freezing and high-heat industrial settings. This wide range ensures consistent performance across diverse climates and operational conditions without degradation.
Side A includes a red lens with 24V filament lamps for clear visual feedback, while Side B operates without LED illumination. The black bezel and sealed construction provide a durable, professional appearance suitable for panel installations in industrial control systems.
