APEM Tactile Switches are robust, through-hole mounted switches with IP67 sealing and high-temperature tolerance (-40°C to +160°C). These switches feature low contact resistance, reliable contact bounce (<2ms), and are suitable for 24VDC circuits with silver or gold contacts handling 0.5μA to 50mA loads. Ideal for industrial automation applications requiring precise switching.
Product Overview
APEM Tactile Switches deliver exceptional reliability and performance for demanding industrial environments. Engineered with through-hole mounting and IP67 sealing, these switches maintain consistent operation across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +160°C) while providing low contact resistance and minimal contact bounce (<2ms). The switches are designed for seamless integration into 24VDC circuits, supporting both silver and gold contacts with current ratings from 0.5μA to 50mA. Their robust construction ensures long-term durability in harsh conditions, making them a critical component for precision switching in industrial automation systems.
Electrical Performance
These tactile switches operate within 24VDC circuits, supporting current loads from 0.5μA to 50mA. The switches feature low contact resistance and minimal contact bounce (<2ms), ensuring precise switching without signal degradation. Both silver and gold contacts are available to meet specific environmental and corrosion resistance requirements.
Environmental Tolerance
Designed for extreme temperature ranges (-40°C to +160°C), these switches maintain functionality in harsh industrial environments. The IP67 rating guarantees protection against dust and water ingress, making them suitable for outdoor installations and high-moisture settings without compromising performance.
Construction and Mounting
The through-hole mounting design allows for straightforward installation before SMD soldering. This feature ensures compatibility with standard manufacturing processes while maintaining the switch's structural integrity during operation. The 2.0 N actuation force provides consistent and precise switching without excessive mechanical stress.
