Schneider Electric XB6AS8342B Push-button Switch Nc

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC XB6AS8342B is a 16 mm push-button switch designed for industrial control panel applications. It features a red, round, extended mushroom head actuator and supports both maintained (MA) and momentary (MO) operation modes with a normally closed (NC) contact configuration. The terminal type is quick-connect, simplifying wiring during panel assembly or field replacement. Weighing 0.05 pounds, this compact switch is built to meet a broad set of international electrical and safety standards, making it suitable for demanding control circuit environments. Electricians and panel builders typically install this switch in machine control, emergency-stop, or operator interface assemblies.

This switch is intended for use in industrial control panels, machine tool wiring, and automated equipment where a compact 16 mm push-button is required. The NC contact configuration makes it well suited for safety-circuit or interlock applications. Its quick-connect terminals support fast installation in production environments. The red mushroom head actuator provides clear visual identification for operators and is commonly used in stop or alert functions on control enclosures and operator stations.

Key Features

• Red round extended mushroom head actuator for high-visibility operator identification
• Supports both maintained (MA) and momentary (MO) operation modes
• Normally closed (NC) contact configuration for interlock and safety-circuit use
• Quick-connect terminal type for fast, secure field wiring
• Meets CCC, CSA, UL 508, EN/IEC 60947-5-1, EN/ISO 13850, and multiple additional international standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement push-button switch for 16 mm panel cutout control enclosures and operator interface assemblies in industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any wiring or removing the existing switch. Quick-connect terminals should be fully seated and inspected for secure contact before returning the panel to service. Verify the contact configuration (NC) matches the circuit schematic before commissioning.
