POWER ROCKER SWITCHES FEATURE NUMEROUS OPTIONS

APEM's 2600 Series rocker switches satisfy most higher power ratings: up to 15 amps at 125 VAC or 10 amps at 250 VAC, as well as peak currents up to 150 amps at 250 VAC for selective models. Electrical life is 10,000 cycles minimum at full load. Various models also carry and are labeled with UL, CSA and VDE recognition markings.

 

These solidly built single and double pole models are available in ON-ON, ON-OFF and ON-OFF-ON electrical configurations with 2 or 3 positions. Other electricals include initial contact resistance of 10 milliohms max. and dielectric strength of 2500 V rms min. between terminals and 3000 V rms between terminals and metal mounting panel.

 

Numerous cosmetic color options are offered with a selection of 3 different rocker shapes, while the frame is available in 5 color selections or chrome plate. Both illuminated and non-illuminated models comprise the 2600 Series, with an extensive variety of lamp options as well as illuminated rockers or rockers with illuminated windows.

All models have a bezel size of .984"w x 1.259"l and project through a front panel .890". They securely snap fit into a panel cutout .866" x 1.181". Materials include a high temperature plastic case, polyamide actuator and frame and silver or silver plated copper contacts. Terminal choices include1/4" solder lug/quick connects or screw and clamp types.

 

Applications abound for the 2600 Series switches for numerous industries, including medical, business, and commercial equipment, industrial controls, transportation and automotive, and appliances. Both higher power applications with capacitive and inductive circuits as well as the many common resistive circuits will be well satisfied with these models.
