APEM Illuminated Push Button Switch, Momentary, Panel Mount, 12.9 mm Cutout, SPDT, IP67, Black, Square, IPC5SAD2

The APEM IPC5SAD2 is an industrial-grade illuminated push button switch suitable for demanding panel and machinery interfaces. It integrates a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact configuration with a momentary action mechanism, providing quick, transient switching for control circuits. The square black actuator is both visually distinct and ergonomic, enabling effective operator feedback and intuitive actuation even while wearing gloves or in low-light environments.

With a 12.9 mm panel cutout requirement, this switch is straightforward to install in standardized panel layouts. The illuminated actuator not only enhances the visual appeal but also serves as an immediate status indicator, supporting error-free operation in environments where feedback is critical. The robust IP67 rating signifies excellent resistance to dust and water ingress, allowing use in harsh, outdoor, or washdown applications commonly found in manufacturing, automation, process control, and transportation panels.

The body construction offers IK06-rated impact strength, with resilience against corrosion and salt spray, aligning with the requirements for equipment deployed in marine, heavy industry, or outdoor settings. The solder terminal design provides secure, low-resistance electrical connections, while compliance with international standards such as RoHS and relevant EN/IEC directives attests to its suitability for regulated industrial markets.

This push button is rated for operation across a broad temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and supports up to 5A of switching current. Its momentary action and SPDT configuration make it versatile for use in relay controls, switching circuits, and machine start/stop panels. The switch is available in both round and square versions within the APEM IP series, offering flexibility in matching to existing device aesthetics and cutout geometries.

Whether installed in control stations, operator consoles, machinery front panels, robotics cells, or instrumentation cabinets, the IPC5SAD2 delivers reliable service life, tactile feedback, and safety even under demanding service conditions. Its actuation legend can be customized (as available in some IBP models), and the combination of high ingress protection and mechanical durability ensures minimized downtime and extended equipment longevity.
