Alternate action on 13000X778 high performance pushbuttons 2012-07-05
New alternate action models have been added to APEM’s 13000X778 series high performance switches. Like momentary models, these pushbuttons are designed for high specifications environments (demanding industrial applications, defence…).
Associating compact size and alternate function, they are a good alternative to toggle switches, which can sometimes prove difficult to integrate in the tight cockpits of light armoured vehicles.
Distinctive features
- Alternate action, double pole
- Compact size : dia. 11,9 mm bushing, small behind-panel depth
- Double shell case
- Matt black finish on case, plunger and hardware
- IP67 frontal sealing by 2 O-rings
- Epoxy sealed terminals

IM series snap-action pushbutton switches 2012-04-17
With its strong and audible tactile feedback, APEM’s new IM series complements and extends the “I” range of sealed pushbutton switches.
Harsh, noisy environments, including those involving vibrations, make the use of a sealed switch with a confirming “click” imperative. IM responds to those needs. Optionally available with a reduced bezel, the IM series fits into the tightest spaces: farm or military vehicles, crane remote controls, handles, etc.
Distinctive features
- Snap-action mechanism: audible tactile feedback, high voltage rating
- Matching the “I” range design
- Momentary
- Dia. 12 mm bushing, round actuator
- Light plastic case
- 2 bezel diameters (standard 17 mm, reduced 15 mm)
- Sealed to IP67
- Mechanical or low level life: 1 million cycles

Activated by the touch of a finger, CG series switches are designed for mounting under a non-conductive front face (glass or polycarbonate) and are activated though the front face, transforming the inert facial into an active interface.
Available in momentary or latching, they are perfectly adapted for interactive applications (ticketing, access control, advertising tools…).
Distinctive features
- 50 million cycles
- Auto-calibration function
- Easy installation, immediate use
- Under-panel mounting : easily cleaned, robust, sealed
- No panel cut-out needed
- Long life adhesive, resistant to vibrations
- Customisable colours and markings
- Dot illumination option
