Frequently Asked Questions
What are the body dimensions of the PT65501, and what material is the actuator made from?
The Apem PT65501 has a compact 10 mm x 10 mm x 6.5 mm body with a nylon segment wheel actuator. The 0.173-inch actuator length and nylon construction make it durable and lightweight, suitable for dense panel-mount switch arrays in industrial control equipment.
Does the PT65501 offer any sealing protection against moisture or contaminants?
Yes, the PT65501 features a silicone O-ring actuator seal, providing moisture and dust ingress protection. This makes it appropriate for industrial automation panels, outdoor field instruments, and medical devices where splash-proof or dust-resistant switching is required.
What contact material and plating does the PT65501 use, and why is that important for long-term reliability?
The PT65501 uses phosphor bronze center contacts with gold-over-nickel plating. Gold plating ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, maintaining reliable electrical switching performance over thousands of cycles in humid or chemically active industrial environments.
