Surface-mounted momentary push button Scame Protecta IP66 hermetic 10A model 137.5311P gray

Surface-mounted Scame Protecta momentary push button model 137.5311P is a rugged single-action switch designed for temporary (momentary) switching operations. The unit is built with a hermetic enclosure providing IP66 protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, and is rated for 10 A to handle common control currents. Its grey finish and compact surface-mounted design make it suitable for integration into industrial control panels, outdoor equipment housings and machinery control stations where reliable momentary switching is required.

Advantages

The hermetic IP66 enclosure prevents dust and water penetration, ensuring consistent operation in harsh environments. The momentary action mechanism is designed for frequent use in start/stop or reset functions, while the 10 A current rating allows use with a wide range of control circuits and contactor coils. Surface-mounted construction simplifies installation on walls or panels without the need for deep recessing, and the neutral grey colour matches many industrial setups.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and switchboards
• Outdoor equipment and enclosures exposed to rain or spray
• Machinery start/stop or emergency reset functions
• Wet, dusty or otherwise demanding environments

Key specifications

• Protection class: IP66 (hermetic against dust and water jets)
• Switch type: momentary (push button)
• Mounting: surface-mounted
• Current rating: 10 A
• Colour: grey
• Suitable environments: indoor and outdoor use, wet or dusty conditions

How to use

Install the push button on a flat surface using appropriate fasteners and ensure correct cable entry and sealing to maintain IP66 protection. Connect the switch terminals into the control circuit according to the wiring scheme of the machine or panel, observing safe isolation procedures before wiring. The device provides momentary contact: press to activate the circuit and release to return to the resting position. Verify electrical compatibility with the controlled device and ensure mounting orientation does not compromise enclosure seals.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, mount the unit where it is protected from mechanical impact and ensure cable glands or conduit entries are sealed to preserve IP66 integrity. Regularly inspect for accumulated debris or damage and replace the unit if seals or actuating parts show wear. Confirm that connected circuits do not exceed the 10 A rating and incorporate appropriate overload protection.
