Procurement snapshot

Only hard product-level facts retained from the cited source route are shown below. A missing buying field is handled separately, rather than estimated from the listed series.

Panel envelope
EC Compact uses a 22 mm bushing and requires 18.7 mm behind-panel depth. [S4]
Protection and approvals
The page lists IP65 front sealing and EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5 approvals. [S5]

Evidence scope

The retained official product route documents: APEM documents EC Compact as a two-pole emergency-stop switch for compact control panels. This dossier uses that cited route as the editorial scope. [S6]

The retained research coverage separates company identity from the named product evidence. It does not turn one model or series into a claim about unlisted company-wide operations. [S9]

Procurement fit

For the EC Compact emergency stop, the buyer should confirm bushing size, behind-panel depth, pole arrangement, panel thickness, and the exact ordering suffix before release to purchasing, as these vary within the published range. For the MW selector family, the buyer should select an exact MW code specifying operator type, sealing, poles, termination, and rating. Pricing, minimum order quantity, lead time, and authorized distribution channels are not publicly documented on the cited product pages and must be obtained from the manufacturer or its distributors.

Technical capabilities

The EC Compact uses a 22 mm bushing and requires 18.7 mm behind-panel depth, with IP65 front sealing. The series is listed to EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5. The MW selector family is built around a 22 mm panel cutout and offers lever or knob operators. Termination options listed for the MW family include solder or 0.187-inch tab, with silver contacts. Exact pole count, contact rating, sealing class, and operator finish vary by code and are not enumerated in the cited product page summary.

Markets and applications

The cited APEM SAS product pages for the EC Compact and MW series do not document specific end markets, industry sectors, or reference installations. The directory entry therefore limits itself to the general machine-control and panel-building contexts implied by 22 mm panel cutout hardware, emergency-stop switching to EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5, and IP65 front sealing. Application-specific suitability, including suitability for food processing, marine, rail, medical, or hazardous-location service, is not publicly documented and must be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Evidence limitations

Several common buying fields are not publicly documented on the cited pages. Complete part-number suffixes for the EC Compact and MW families, contact ratings in amperes and volts, mechanical and electrical endurance, operating temperature range, terminal torque values, and full agency certification listings beyond EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5 are not publicly documented. Pricing, minimum order quantity, lead time, regional distribution, and warranty terms are not publicly documented. Buyers requiring these fields should request the current datasheet revision directly from APEM SAS.

Editorial summary

APEM SAS, headquartered in Caussade, France, publishes specification data for two control-component categories carried in this directory: emergency stop button and selector switch. The emergency stop line is represented by the APEM EC Compact emergency-stop switch, while the selector switch line is represented by the APEM MW monobloc selector-switch series. This profile records only the parameters released on the manufacturer's published product pages and does not extrapolate additional series, ratings, or approvals that are not listed in the source material.

Frequently asked questions

What Emergency Stop Button product is documented for APEM SAS?

The retained product material names APEM EC Compact emergency-stop switch. The dossier keeps this as a product-level statement rather than using it as a claim about the company's entire catalogue. [S6]

Which published panel envelope should a buyer compare?

The cited product material records: EC Compact uses a 22 mm bushing and requires 18.7 mm behind-panel depth. Use the value as a product-level comparison point, while keeping the exact model and installation boundaries in the cited route. [S4]

Which published protection and approvals should a buyer compare?

The cited product material records: The page lists IP65 front sealing and EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5 approvals. Use the value as a product-level comparison point, while keeping the exact model and installation boundaries in the cited route. [S5]

Which common buying fields are not published in the retained sources?

The retained source packet does not publish Annual sales, Availability or stock. Those fields are intentionally left out of the procurement snapshot rather than inferred from a related series, a product image or the company identity. [S9]

Research notes

The retained first-party packet supports a richer product-level reading surface, but it does not yet contain 600 words of distinct cited content. This noindex dossier remains in reviewing status until additional source-backed facts are retained.
