The APEM Panel Switches KL46FAKFG225N0160 is a double-pole, silver-contact autoswitch designed for industrial applications. This illuminated switch features laser-etched symbols, IP68 sealing for front panel components, and optional IP69K sealing for harsh environments. With a mechanical life of 150,000 cycles and operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, it ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions.
The APEM KL46FAKFG225N0160 Panel Switch is a robust double-pole autoswitch engineered for industrial use, combining high durability with intuitive operation. Featuring silver contacts and a 12V yellow LED for enhanced visibility, this switch delivers precise electrical performance with minimal contact resistance (10 mΩ max.) and exceptional insulation (1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC). Its patented ergonomic design, laser-etched symbols, and optional IP69K sealing make it ideal for applications requiring resistance to salt spray, extreme temperatures, and high mechanical stress.
The KL46FAKFG225N0160 delivers reliable electrical switching with a maximum initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ and an insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC. Its dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz ensures robust protection against electrical surges, while the double-pole configuration supports simultaneous control of two circuits.
Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch offers IP68 sealing for front panel components and optional IP69K sealing for full environmental protection. The salt spray resistance (96 hours per IEC 512-6, test 11f) and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) make it suitable for marine, chemical, and outdoor industrial environments.
With a mechanical life of 150,000 cycles minimum, the KL46FAKFG225N0160 ensures long-term reliability in high-traffic applications. The silver contact materials and robust construction minimize wear, while the patented ergonomic design reduces user fatigue during repeated operation.
This switch supports both illuminated and non-illuminated operation, with laser-etched symbols for clear identification. Its rear PTO (Position to Output) symbols and double-pole configuration allow for versatile integration into control panels, machinery, and automation systems where precise switching and high durability are critical.
