Schneider Electric XB6CA45B 16mm Push Button, Red, Spring Return, 1NO+1NC

The Schneider Electric XB6CA45B is a professional-grade 16mm diameter red push button engineered for integration into industrial control panels and automation systems. This compact control unit features a reliable spring return mechanism, ensuring the button automatically reverts to its original position after actuation. Equipped with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact, it provides versatile switching capabilities for various electrical circuits.

Advantages

This push button stands out due to its robust construction and compact design, which allows for efficient space utilization in crowded control panels. The spring return functionality enhances operational safety by preventing accidental continuous activation. Its high-quality materials ensure durability and consistent performance even in demanding industrial environments, making it a dependable choice for critical control tasks.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and automation systems
• Emergency stop or start/stop control circuits
• Machine control interfaces
• Electrical distribution equipment

When it may not be suitable

This unit is designed for 16mm mounting holes and may not be compatible with panels requiring larger standard 22mm cutouts without the use of specific adapters. It is intended for standard industrial control voltages and should not be used in high-power direct switching applications exceeding its rated electrical specifications.

Key specifications

• Mounting diameter: 16mm
• Button color: Red
• Operation type: Spring return
• Contact configuration: 1NO + 1NC
• Design: Compact modular unit

How to use

Installation involves inserting the push button into a pre-drilled 16mm hole on the control panel and securing it with the provided locking nut. Once mounted, connect the electrical wires to the corresponding NO and NC terminals according to your circuit diagram. Ensure that the connections are tightened securely to maintain reliable contact performance during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control panel has a 16mm mounting hole available.
• Check that the 1NO+1NC contact configuration meets your specific circuit requirements.
• Ensure the operating environment is compatible with the device's ingress protection ratings.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the terminal connections for tightness and ensure the button mechanism remains free of debris to maintain optimal switching reliability over the long term.
