M22-DRLH-Y drive button with backlight, non-self-returning 216799

Control Button Actuator – Reliability and Functionality in Industry

This Eaton button actuator, model M22-DRLH-Y, is a robust component designed for control panel installations in demanding industrial environments. It features a clear, yellow illuminated button that ensures excellent visibility and intuitive operation. The lack of a self-return function keeps the button depressed until pressed again—ideal for applications requiring a sustained control signal.

Design and Specifications for Professionals

The actuator is designed for mounting in holes with diameters of 22 mm and 22.5 mm. The high-quality plastic front ring in titanium color provides an elegant appearance and resistance to mechanical damage. The circular button lens further enhances readability. The design complies with IP67 and IP69K ratings, guaranteeing protection against dust and high-pressure water jets—essential in harsh operating conditions. The elevated button profile enables easy operation even while wearing gloves.

Applications and Benefits for Installers and Users

The M22-DRLH-Y actuator is widely used in industrial automation, machinery, and manually controlled equipment. It is ideal for building operator panels, control stations, and alarm signaling systems. Its robust construction and high protection rating ensure long-term, fail-safe operation, minimizing maintenance costs and downtime. The illuminated button improves operational safety, especially in poorly lit areas or conditions with limited visibility. The absence of a self-return function allows precise control of processes requiring a continuous activation signal.
