Schneider Electric XB5AW34G5 Illuminated Push-button Switch

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC XB5AW34G5 is an illuminated, momentary push-button switch rated for industrial and commercial control panel applications. It features a 22 mm mounting hole diameter, a flush-style round red plastic operator, and a built-in LED lamp for status indication. The contact configuration is NC/NO, making it suitable for both normally closed and normally open control circuits. Terminal connections are screw-type for reliable, tool-secured wiring. Licensed electricians and panel builders are the primary installers for this type of device. It carries multiple international standards certifications including UL 508, CSA, and IEC ratings, confirming suitability for North American and global installations.

This switch is designed for use in control panels, machine operator stations, and industrial enclosures where visual feedback and momentary actuation are required. The NEMA 4X and 13 ratings indicate resistance to dust, oil, and washdown conditions, making it appropriate for food processing, manufacturing, and other demanding environments. The flush button profile reduces the risk of accidental actuation in crowded panel layouts. It ships as a single unit and is ready for direct panel installation.

Key Features

• 22 mm mounting hole diameter fits standard 22 mm cutouts used across most industrial control enclosures
• Momentary (MO) operation with NC/NO contact configuration for flexible circuit integration
• Integrated LED lamp provides continuous operator indication without a separate pilot light
• Flush, round red plastic operator reduces accidental actuation risk
• NEMA 4X and 13 rated for dust-tight, oil-resistant, and washdown-capable environments
• Screw terminal connections for secure, code-compliant wiring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation push-button switch for 22 mm industrial control panel cutouts conforming to IEC and NEMA standard operator interface mounting dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 430 and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and verify zero voltage before inserting or wiring the switch. Screw terminals should be tightened with a small flat-blade screwdriver to the enclosure manufacturer's recommended torque range for the terminal block in use. Confirm NEMA rating compatibility with the enclosure before mounting to maintain the rated ingress protection of the panel.
