Pushbutton switch Karlik 10WHE-4, 10 A, 250 V AC, IP54

Karlik 10WHE-4 is a compact pushbutton switch designed for manual control circuits and user-operated switching in general electrical installations. Rated for 250 V AC and a nominal switching current of 10 A, the device provides a reliable single-function control element for wall panels, machinery controls and various domestic or light-industrial applications. The switch features IP54 protection, offering resistance to dust ingress and splashing water, and belongs to the JUNIOR series intended for use in environments where dust and moisture are present.

Advantages

The Karlik 10WHE-4 combines a compact footprint with a nominal 10 A switching capacity at 250 V AC, allowing it to integrate into control panels and small machinery without significant space requirements. The IP54 enclosure reduces risk from dust and splashing water, increasing durability in workshops, garages, covered outdoor areas and production spaces where light contamination occurs. The mechanical actuation is straightforward for operator use, and the switch is compatible with common mounting arrangements for wall or panel installation.

Suitable for

• Wall-mounted control panels in residential and commercial premises
• Machine start/stop controls and operator stations in light industry
• General-purpose electrical installations that require a manual pushbutton
• Spaces with dust or occasional splashing water, such as workshops and covered terraces

Key specifications

• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Nominal switching current: 10 A
• Ingress protection: IP54 (protection against dust and splashing water)
• Actuation type: pushbutton
• Application class: manual control for panels and equipment in dusty or humid environments

How to use

Install the pushbutton switch into a compatible panel cutout following local electrical regulations and the installation instructions provided by the system designer. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Connect the supply and load conductors to the switch terminals using appropriate conductor sizes and secure connections. After installation, verify correct operation by manually actuating the button and observing the controlled circuit. Regularly inspect the enclosure and terminal connections for dirt accumulation or loose wiring, particularly in dusty or humid locations.

Usage recommendations

Use the Karlik 10WHE-4 in environments where protection from dust and splashing water is required but not full water immersion. Avoid direct exposure to jets of water or prolonged wetting. For harsher outdoor or washdown applications, select a device with a higher ingress protection rating.
