The APEM Panel Switches KL36JAKEG296N0162 is a single-pole autoswitch engineered for high-reliability industrial use. This switch delivers exceptional environmental resilience with IP68 sealing for front panel components and the option for IP69K sealing, making it suitable for harsh conditions including salt spray exposure. Its patented ergonomic design, laser-etched symbols, and robust electrical performance—such as 1,000 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC and 2,000 Vrms dielectric strength—ensure precise operation across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and long service life (150,000 cycles). The switch also provides clear visual feedback through a 12V green LED for operational status.
The APEM Panel Switches KL36JAKEG296N0162 provides robust environmental resilience through its sealing options. Front panel components are sealed to IP68 standard, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress. Additionally, the switch can be optionally sealed to IP69K, meeting stringent requirements for salt spray resistance (96 hours per IEC 512-6) and industrial environments with high exposure to contaminants. This dual sealing capability ensures reliable performance in both standard and extreme conditions.
This switch delivers high electrical reliability with a minimum insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC and a dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms at 50 Hz. The initial contact resistance is limited to 10 mΩ maximum, ensuring low resistance during operation. These specifications support stable electrical performance even under demanding conditions, such as high-voltage environments or frequent switching cycles.
Engineered for extended service life, the APEM Panel Switches KL36JAKEG296N0162 offers a minimum of 150,000 mechanical cycles. This high cycle count ensures the switch maintains consistent performance over time, reducing maintenance needs and downtime in critical industrial applications. The switch is constructed with silver contact materials to ensure reliable electrical connections and minimal wear.
The switch includes a 12V green LED for visual status indication, providing immediate feedback on operational status. Its laser-etched symbols and patented ergonomic design enhance usability, ensuring intuitive operation even in low-light conditions. The switch operates in a single-pole configuration with a clear marking orientation (N), making it suitable for straightforward integration into control systems.
