The APEM Panel Switches KL46CAKJG226N01A6 is a double-pole, 20A autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP68 sealing, laser-etched symbols, and optional IP69K front panel sealing, this switch offers robust performance in harsh environments with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and 150,000 mechanical life cycles.
The APEM Panel Switches KL46CAKJG226N01A6 is a high-reliability double-pole autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. This switch delivers exceptional durability with a minimum insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz. Its IP68 sealing ensures protection against dust and water ingress, while the optional IP69K front panel sealing provides resistance to high-pressure cleaning and salt spray for extended operational life in extreme conditions. The switch supports a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and features a patented ergonomic design with laser-etched symbols for intuitive operation, making it ideal for critical control applications where reliability and safety are paramount.
The APEM Panel Switches KL46CAKJG226N01A6 features IP68 sealing for protection against dust and water ingress, meeting IEC 60529 standards. Optional IP69K front panel sealing ensures resistance to high-pressure cleaning and salt spray, with a 96-hour salt spray test compliance per IEC 512-6. This robust environmental protection makes the switch suitable for use in marine, automotive, and industrial settings where exposure to harsh conditions is common.
With a minimum insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz, the switch ensures reliable electrical isolation and safety. The initial contact resistance is limited to 10 mΩ max, providing low resistance for efficient current flow. The switch operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, accommodating extreme environmental conditions without compromising performance.
Engineered for industrial longevity, the switch delivers a minimum of 150,000 mechanical life cycles, ensuring sustained reliability in high-use applications. The silver contact materials and robust construction minimize wear and tear, while the patented ergonomic design enhances user experience without sacrificing durability.
The switch supports both illuminated and non-illuminated operation with 24V red LEDs for clear visual feedback. Laser-etched symbols ensure precise identification, and the optional elastomer membrane provides a smooth, tactile experience. The switch is available in a wide range of colors and can be configured for specific applications, such as parking brake systems, as indicated by the symbol.
