Apem Multimec 3F PCB Switches
APEM Multimec 3F Series PCB Switches are high-performance sealed devices in a compact 10mm x 10mm footprint. These switches feature a 1mm travel and provide a tactile feel under a 3.5N actuation force. The housing, actuator, and contact springs are made from materials chosen for durability and chemical resistance. These switches offer gold or silver contact options rated from 0.5µA to 50mA at 24VDC, with typical contact resistance of 10mΩ and insulation resistance over 10MΩ. The Multimec 3F series PCB switches achieve sealing to IP67 according to IEC 60529 and operate from -40°C to +160°C for non-illuminated versions. Typical uses include human-interface panels, control systems, instrumentation, and other devices requiring sealed tactile input.
