Frequently Asked Questions
What military standard does the Apem 5GTH9352242 comply with and what does this mean for procurement?
The 5GTH9352242 complies with MIL-PRF-28855H, the U.S. military specification for pushbutton switches. This qualification means the switch has passed rigorous environmental and endurance testing including vibration, shock, temperature cycling from -55°C to +125°C, and contact resistance tests, making it acceptable for direct use in defense program BOMs without additional qualification.
How does the 10 mm body size and 1 mm actuator travel of the 5GTH9352242 compare to standard commercial pushbutton switches?
At 10 mm x 10 mm body with 8.5 mm height and only 1 mm actuator travel, the 5GTH9352242 is considerably more compact and has a shorter throw than typical commercial 12 mm tactile switches. The short 1 mm travel reduces operator fatigue in high-cycle applications and allows tighter spacing in dense military control panels.
Why is polyphenylene sulfide chosen as the actuator material in the 5GTH9352242?
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is selected because it withstands continuous operating temperatures up to approximately 200°C, resists solvents, fuels, and hydraulic fluids common in military environments, and maintains dimensional stability under mechanical stress. This makes PPS superior to standard nylon or ABS actuator materials in avionics and naval applications with extreme chemical exposure.
