The APEM Panel Switches KG480A2XXA21XX is a double-pole, sealed IP65 autoswitch designed for reliable electrical control in demanding industrial environments. Featuring silver contacts, 10 mΩ max. initial contact resistance at 1 A 2 VDC, and robust electrical life of 10,000 cycles, this switch ensures precise operation while meeting stringent environmental and performance standards for harsh conditions.

Product Overview

The APEM Panel Switches KG480A2XXA21XX is a double-pole, sealed IP65 autoswitch engineered for high-reliability electrical switching in industrial applications. With a black bezel and full rocker design, this switch delivers precise control for 10 A 12 VDC or 8 A 24 VDC circuits while maintaining exceptional durability through its sealed construction and robust electrical specifications. The switch’s ability to withstand extreme environmental conditions, including shock resistance up to 100 g and vibration resistance up to 10 g at 500 Hz, ensures consistent performance in challenging industrial settings.

Electrical Performance

The APEM Panel Switches KG480A2XXA21XX delivers precise electrical control with a maximum current rating of 10 A at 12 VDC and 8 A at 24 VDC. It features a low initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. at 1 A 2 VDC, ensuring minimal voltage drop during operation. The switch maintains high insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC) and dielectric strength (2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min.) to prevent electrical faults and ensure safe operation in demanding industrial environments.

Environmental Durability

Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch meets IP65 protection standards, providing dust and water resistance in industrial settings. It withstands shock resistance up to 100 g (IEC 512-4, test 6c) and vibration resistance up to 10 g at 10-500 Hz (IEC 512-4, test 6d). The switch operates across a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments such as outdoor installations, chemical plants, and heavy machinery.

Operational Characteristics

The switch supports a simple ON-OFF-MOM (Momentary On) function, enabling quick and reliable switching without complex configurations. Its full rocker design ensures smooth operation and tactile feedback, while the absence of LED lighting allows for clean integration into systems requiring non-illuminated interfaces. The switch’s sealed construction prevents contact corrosion and ensures long-term performance in high-moisture or high-salt environments.
