A0105Y – APEM

The APEM A0105Y designates a configurable switch body designed for pushbutton actuation with integrated illumination. This component lacks integral switching elements, requiring selection and assembly of appropriate contact blocks from the APEM A range to achieve desired electrical functionality (e.g., NO/NC configuration, current/voltage rating). The “illum” designation indicates provision for an internal LED or incandescent lamp, powered separately from the switching circuit, to provide visual indication of switch state or panel identification. The A0105Y body accepts standard APEM pushbutton caps and bezels, allowing customization of the user interface. Careful consideration must be given to the lamp voltage and current requirements to ensure compatibility with the intended power supply and to select a lamp with appropriate luminous intensity and color for the application. The body material is typically a durable thermoplastic, offering resistance to common industrial solvents and temperature variations within specified operating limits.
