Schneider Electric XB5AW36B5 Push-button Switch 22mm

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC XB5AW36B5 is a momentary, illuminated push-button switch designed for industrial control panel applications. It features a 22 mm mounting hole diameter, a flush blue round plastic operator, and a built-in LED lamp. The switch provides both NC and NO contact configuration through screw terminals, making it suitable for use in machine control circuits, motor starters, and operator interface panels. It carries a NEMA 4X and 13 rating, indicating resistance to washdown conditions and dust ingress. Licensed electricians and control panel assemblers are the primary installers for this type of device.

This switch is suited for use in industrial and commercial control panel enclosures requiring a momentary actuator with pilot light indication. Typical applications include start and stop circuits, jog controls, and status-indication functions on machine tool panels, conveyor systems, and process control equipment. The 22 mm mounting hole is a widely used standard format in industrial automation and is compatible with standard 22 mm cutout operator mounting configurations. The flush-style operator reduces the risk of accidental actuation in high-traffic panel environments.

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 with a meter before beginning any wiring work. Screw terminals should be tightened to the fastener manufacturer's specification using an appropriate flat-blade or insulated screwdriver. Verify LED lamp polarity and contact logic against the control schematic before restoring power.
