APEM Components Slide Switch DPDT Side Button

The APEM Components Slide Switch is a professional-grade, 2-pole through-hole mount component designed for reliable operation in demanding electronic applications. This high-quality switch features a DPDT (Double Pole, Double Throw) contact configuration with an 'On-On' switching operation, making it ideal for circuits requiring the simultaneous control of two separate signal paths.

Constructed for longevity, the switch utilises silver contacts for optimal conductivity and features a robust housing made from PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate). The actuator and cover are crafted from glass-filled polyamide, offering excellent mechanical strength and resistance to wear. Its side-mounted actuator provides a convenient and space-efficient method for switching in compact designs.

Performance and Reliability

Engineered for industrial environments, this switch delivers consistent performance with a maximum initial contact resistance of just 10mΩ and a minimum insulation resistance of 1000MΩ at 500VDC. It boasts an impressive electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load and a mechanical life of 20,000 cycles under low-level switching conditions. The component is rated to operate reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

With a compact form factor, it is perfectly suited for integration onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) where space is at a premium. Its through-hole mounting ensures a secure and stable connection during the soldering process, contributing to the overall durability of the final assembly. The APEM 25000N Series switch is a trusted choice for designers and engineers seeking a dependable switching solution for control panels, test equipment, and other professional electronic devices.
