APEM announces 3600NF sealed toggle switch
November 20, 2007 - Haverhill, MA - APEM Components offers the 3600NF series of sealed toggle switches with IP67 front panel sealing. The 3600NF models are ideally suited for harsh, outdoor environments where reliability is of the utmost importance. Typical markets where you'll find the 3600NF include industrial and off-road.

The 3600NF toggle provides superior switching power through solid silver contacts. This toggle switch is UL rated for 12A at 28VDC and 6A at 125VAC. Electrical life is 10,000 cycles at full load. Other electrical parameters include initial contact resistance of 10 milliohms max., insulation resistance of 1,000 megohms min. and dielectric strength of 3000 Vrms between terminals and frame.

This product is designed for outdoor applications requiring a robust seal. The sealing is provided by: a half-boot assembly over the lever, an o-ring between the lever and bushing, an elastomer gasket between cover and case and molded in terminals.

The switch case is molded out of a phenolic resin and the lever and bushing are made of nickel plated brass. The switch is available in wire lug or screw terminals. Custom wired assemblies are also available.
