APEM IA series push-button switches

APEM has released the IA series push-button switches designed for harsh environments. The push-buttons are highly resistant to salt spray, frost, sand and hydrocarbons, and are rated at IP67 above panel. The polyurethane membrane is UV resistant and is press fitted onto the bushing ensuring the high resistance to ingress. The actuator provides a positive tactile feedback even if the operator is wearing gloves.

The maximum current and voltage rating into a resistive load is 2 A and 24 VDC with an electrical life at full load tested to 1 million operations. The total travel of the actuator is 1.5 mm with a typical operating force of 7 N. Electrical functions are N/O or changeover and flying leads are supplied as standard. The case is supplied only in black but the actuator colours can be blue, black, green, yellow, red, white or orange.
