Airpax™ Snapak 213 Series Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Protectors

Sensata Technologies Airpax brand offers a hydraulic-magnetic solution that is fast-acting, unaffected by variations in ambient temperature, and boasts many additional functions that are not offered by thermal breakers.

The Snapak series combines the function of three separate components (power switch, fuse, and fuse holder) so only one item needs 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 Hz/60 Hz, eliminating the need to specify, order, and stock separate units. 400 Hz units are also available.

The Snapak's snap-acting feature assures immediate opening and closing of the contacts. Its design also prevents operator "teasing" of the contacts and minimizes arcing. To enhance front-panel aesthetics, Snapak is offered with paddle and rocker handles in six attractive colors, push-pull and push-to-reset actuators, and a variety of mounting hardware.

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.
