Schneider Electric ZBZ1605 Pushbutton Switch Guard

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC ZBZ1605 is a yellow metal guard designed for extended mushroom head pushbutton switches. It provides a protective barrier around the actuator to reduce accidental activation in industrial and commercial control panel applications. Fabricated from metal, the guard offers durability in demanding environments where incidental contact with the pushbutton is a concern. At 0.11 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any control station. Electricians and controls technicians install this accessory when panel safety requirements call for guarded actuators on emergency or process-control pushbuttons.

This guard is suited for use in industrial control panels, machine safety circuits, and process automation equipment where pushbutton actuators require physical protection from unintended operation. It is compatible with a range of Harmony XB4 and XB5 series pushbutton assemblies and is sized to fit extended mushroom head actuator styles. It fits both surface-mount and flush-mount control station enclosures commonly found in light manufacturing and commercial building automation environments.
