The APEM Panel Switches KL46FAKFG225N0461 provides robust environmental protection through its IP68 sealing for front panel components, ensuring dust and water resistance in industrial settings. Additionally, the switch is optionally sealed to IP69K standards, meeting stringent requirements for salt spray resistance (96 hours per IEC 512-6, test 11f) and high-temperature environments. This dual protection level ensures reliable operation in challenging conditions such as marine, chemical, or outdoor applications.
With an insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz, the switch ensures safe electrical isolation between terminals. The initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max guarantees minimal voltage drop during operation, critical for maintaining system efficiency. The double-pole design supports both live and neutral circuits, enabling precise control in complex industrial systems.
Engineered for long-term use, the switch features a mechanical life of 150,000 cycles minimum, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. Its silver contact materials ensure excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, while the wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) allows it to function effectively in extreme environments without performance degradation.
The switch includes patented intuitive ergonomics for user-friendly operation and laser-etched symbols for clear identification. It is available in illuminated or non-illuminated configurations, providing flexibility for different lighting conditions. The double-pole electrical function (ON ON) ensures safe and efficient control of two circuits simultaneously, reducing the risk of electrical faults.
