Key Features
- Slide actuator rated 2 A at 250 VAC and 3 A at 30 VDC for versatile AC/DC switching
- Silver-on-silver center contacts providing low contact resistance and reliable conductivity
- Glass-filled polyamide body (14.1 mm x 7.5 mm x 11.9 mm) for robust mechanical durability
- Compact panel-mount form factor suitable for consumer, industrial, and appliance control panels
Applications
The 25136NAB is suited for power mode selection, input signal routing, and function enable/disable switching in consumer electronics, home appliances, and industrial control panels. Its 2 A / 250 VAC rating accommodates mains-referenced control signals in lighting dimmers and HVAC controllers. The glass-filled polyamide slide actuator withstands repeated operator actuation cycles in panel-mount environments requiring a robust, tactile switching element.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the electrical ratings of the Apem 25136NAB slide switch?
The Apem 25136NAB is rated for 2 A at 250 VAC under resistive load and 3 A at 30 VDC, making it suitable for both mains-level AC control circuits and low-voltage DC switching applications. The silver-plated contacts support these current levels with low contact resistance over the rated number of actuation cycles.
In which applications does the 25136NAB perform best compared to a push-button switch?
Slide switches like the 25136NAB are preferred in applications requiring a stable, latched position—such as power mode selectors, channel selectors on audio equipment, and function enable switches on laboratory instruments—where the operator needs a visible, persistent state indication. Unlike momentary push-buttons, the slide actuator retains its position at 2 A / 250 VAC without requiring continuous force.
What are the body dimensions of the Apem 25136NAB and how do they affect panel cutout design?
The 25136NAB body measures 14.097 mm in length, 7.493 mm in breadth, and 11.913 mm in height. Panel cutout designers must accommodate this 14.1 mm x 7.5 mm envelope plus actuator travel distance, typically adding 2 to 3 mm of clearance on the actuation axis to ensure the slide moves freely without binding against the panel material.
What material is used for the 25136NAB actuator and why does it benefit industrial control panels?
The actuator is molded from glass-filled polyamide, a thermoplastic composite offering tensile strength roughly 2 to 3 times higher than unfilled nylon and improved dimensional stability at elevated temperatures up to 120°C. This material resists deformation under repeated actuation forces in industrial control panels where operators engage the switch hundreds of times per day.
