Schneider Electric ZB5AK1213 2-position Selector Switch 22mm

Product Description

The Schneider Electric ZB5AK1213 is a 2-position maintained-action selector switch operator designed for industrial and commercial control panel applications. It features a white round handle, a 22 mm mounting hole diameter, and a plastic bezel with a shock-resistant, vibration-resistant, and water-resistant construction. The operator carries an IP69K ingress protection rating, making it suitable for wash-down and harsh-environment installations. Licensed electricians and control panel builders typically specify this component when building or retrofitting operator interfaces on machine control enclosures.

This selector switch operator is used in control panel assemblies across industrial, commercial, and marine environments. Its maintained (MA) operation type means the handle stays in the selected position after actuation, which suits applications requiring a stable on/off or mode-select function. The 22 mm form factor is a standard industry size for modular operator interface systems. The NEMA 4X and NEMA 13 ratings make it appropriate for indoor and outdoor enclosures exposed to dust, oil mist, or high-pressure wash-down conditions.

Key Features

• 2-position maintained (MA) operation keeps handle in the selected position after actuation
• 22 mm mounting hole diameter fits standard modular control panel cutouts
• IP69K ingress protection rating — suitable for high-pressure wash-down environments
• NEMA 13 and NEMA 4X rated for oil-tight and corrosion-resistant enclosure applications
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction for demanding industrial settings
• White round handle with plastic bezel for clear visual identification on control panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style operator component for 22 mm modular selector switch assemblies in industrial control panel systems. Specific contact block and body compatibility should be confirmed against the manufacturer documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before mounting or wiring any operator component. The 22 mm panel cutout should be clean and free of burrs before inserting the operator body. Do not overtighten the mounting nut, as this can crack the plastic bezel.
