The APEM Panel Switches KL46FAKSG225N0160 is a double-pole, silver-contact switch with ON ON electrical functions. This industrial-grade switch offers IP68 sealing for front panel components, 12V white LED illumination, and optional IP69K sealing for harsh environments. Designed for reliable operation across -40°C to +85°C temperatures with 150,000 cycle mechanical life.
The APEM KL46FAKSG225N0160 Panel Switch is a precision-engineered double-pole switch designed for demanding industrial applications. Featuring patented intuitive ergonomics and laser-etched symbols, this switch delivers robust performance with minimal contact resistance (10 mΩ max) and high insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC). Its IP68 sealing ensures protection for front panel components, while optional IP69K sealing provides resistance to salt spray and harsh conditions. The switch operates reliably across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and supports 150,000 mechanical cycles, making it ideal for critical control systems where durability and visibility are essential.
The KL46FAKSG225N0160 delivers precise electrical control with a maximum initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ and minimum insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC. It meets stringent dielectric strength requirements of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz minimum between terminals, ensuring reliable operation in high-voltage environments. The switch supports ON ON electrical functions for straightforward control of lighting and motor systems.
Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch features IP68 sealing for front panel components, providing protection against dust and water ingress. Optional IP69K sealing meets rigorous standards for salt spray resistance (96 hours per IEC 512-6, test 11f) and withstands harsh industrial environments. The operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C ensures consistent performance in both cold and hot conditions.
APEM's patented intuitive ergonomics and laser-etched symbols enhance usability without compromising safety. The switch is designed for one protected position, ensuring secure operation while maintaining clear visual identification through illuminated or non-illuminated options. This design reduces operator error and improves system reliability in critical applications.
Available with IP68 sealing for standard environments or optional IP69K sealing for extreme conditions, the KL46FAKSG225N0160 provides flexible protection solutions. The IP69K rating ensures resistance to salt spray and high-pressure cleaning, making it suitable for marine, chemical, and outdoor industrial applications where environmental exposure is a concern.
