Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches KL45CAKDG226N is a double-pole, double-throw (MOM ON) autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP68 sealing, 1,000 MΩ insulation resistance, and 2,000 Vrms dielectric strength, this switch ensures robust performance in harsh environments. With laser-etched symbols, optional IP69K sealing, and a mechanical life of 150,000 cycles, it delivers reliable operation from -40°C to +85°C.
The APEM Panel Switches KL45CAKDG226N is a high-reliability double-pole autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. This switch combines robust sealing options (IP68 or IP69K), exceptional electrical performance with 1,000 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC and 2,000 Vrms dielectric strength, and a mechanical life of 150,000 cycles. Its patented ergonomic design, laser-etched symbols, and ability to operate within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C make it ideal for critical applications requiring high durability and safety.
The APEM Panel Switches KL45CAKDG226N offers two sealing options: IP68 for standard industrial environments and IP69K for exposure to high-pressure water, steam, and harsh chemicals. The IP69K rating meets DIN 40050-9 standards and provides 96 hours of salt spray resistance (IEC 512-6, test 11f), ensuring long-term reliability in extreme conditions.
With a minimum insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC and a dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms (50 Hz), this switch ensures safe and stable electrical operation even under high-voltage stress. The initial contact resistance is limited to 10 mΩ max, minimizing power loss and heat generation during switching.
Engineered for industrial longevity, the KL45CAKDG226N provides a mechanical life of 150,000 cycles minimum, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent switching. Its silver contact materials and robust construction ensure consistent performance over time, even in demanding environments.
This switch features a patented intuitive ergonomics design, laser-etched symbols for clear identification, and optional illumination with a 12V red LED. The double-pole configuration (MOM ON) allows for precise control of two circuits, while the N marking orientation ensures consistent alignment with standard mounting practices.
