The APEM Inc. 5256AB is a miniature toggle switch from the 5000 series, featuring a 3PDT (Triple Pole Double Throw) circuit configuration. It is designed for panel mounting with a standard round actuator and PC pin termination style. The switch has a current rating of 6A AC and 4A DC, with a voltage rating of 30V. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.
Key electrical specifications include a maximum initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ and an insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC. The dielectric strength is rated at 1,000 Vrms between terminals and 1,500 Vrms between poles and between terminals and frame. The electrical life at full load is rated for 40,000 cycles for a 3-pole configuration, and the low level or mechanical life is 100,000 cycles. The bushing has a thread of 1/4-40 and a diameter of 11.9 mm (15/32).
Materials include silver contacts, a brass nickel-plated actuator, and a brass nickel-plated bushing. The case is made of diallylphthalate (DAP) or high-temperature plastic material (UL94-V0). The switch is epoxy sealed at the terminals for environmental protection. Agency approvals include UL and CSA.
