Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Protectors (SNAPAK®)
INTRODUCTION
The Airpax™ SNAPAK® series is a snap-acting hydraulic-
magnetic circuit protector that combines power switching and
accurate, reliable circuit protection in one aesthetically pleasing
package. The SNAPAK® combines the functions of three
separate components: power switch, fuse and fuse holder. To the
OEM, this means that only one item has to be mounted instead
of three. Less assembly is required, inventory is cut by two-
thirds and greater panel density is obtainable with less clutter. In
addition, the SNAPAK® can be operated at either DC or 50/60Hz,
eliminating the need to specify, order and stock separate units.
400Hz units are also available.
To enhance front-panel aesthetics, SNAPAK® is offered with
paddle and rocker handles in six attractive colors and push-pull
and push-to-reset actuators. Also offered is a variety of optional
mounting hardware. The push-pull version is supplied with a
black button with a white indicating band.
Orientation of the button when marked with an amperage
notation must be specified when using the fourth decision table.
Push-to-reset is supplied with a contrasting color indicating
shaft. In addition, SNAPAK® is offered in SPST and DPST
configurations. The single pole satisfies most applications. The
two-pole version is often used for extra safety in products that
utilize high voltage or where current sensing and breaking of
both sides of the line is required. Quick connect terminals are
standard, UNC 8-32 or M4 screw terminals are available as
additional termination options.
Since the SNAPAK® is snap-acting, it assures immediate
opening and closing of the contacts. Its design also prevents
operator “teasing” of the contacts and minimizes arcing.
SNAPAK® circuit protectors are UL Recognized as
supplementary protectors per UL STD. 1077, CSA Certified as
supplementary protectors per CSA STD. C22.2 No. 235, TUV
Approved as circuit breakers for equipment per STD. EN 60934,
CCC Approved (customer must request product be manufactured
in China) and CE Compliant. In addition, most versions are
certified by UL to meet spacing requirements of IEC 950 for basic
and functional insulation for front panel mounting.
Consult factory for details and exceptions. Typical applications
include office appliances, electronic data processing, medical
equipment, business machines, vending and amusement
machines. Push-pull versions are particularly well suited for
medical instrumentation, automotive production transfer lines
and other applications where accidental turn off is unacceptable.
For those applications which do not require circuit protection,
SNAPAK® is offered in a power-switch-only configuration.
