Illuminated switch 2 positions, yellow M22S-WLK3-B 216842

Illuminated switch for control panels and devices

This illuminated switch, catalog number 216842, is a reliable solution for controlling devices and systems. Designed for mounting in 22.5 mm diameter holes, it is ideal for both industrial applications and control panels. Its robust construction and high degree of protection (IP66 and NEMA 4X, 13) guarantee long-lasting and trouble-free operation even in harsh conditions.

Functionality and application

The switch offers three switching stages, allowing for flexible adaptation to different needs. The self-returning design ensures ease of use – after releasing the knob, the switch automatically returns to its initial position. Backlighting with blue light makes it easier to operate in dimly lit rooms or at night. This is particularly important in applications requiring quick identification of the device status.

The switch finds application in:

• Control panels of machines and devices
• Electrical cabinets
• Industrial automation
• Mobile devices
• Applications requiring reliable control

Construction and characteristic features

A front ring made of high-quality plastic and a black control element provide an aesthetic appearance and resistance to mechanical damage. The use of plastic minimizes the risk of corrosion, which is important in environments with increased humidity. The ability to connect to the SmartWire-DT system (with SWD-RMQ connections) facilitates integration with modern automation systems. The robust self-returning design ensures precise and repeatable operation for a long time. The IP66 degree of protection guarantees tightness against dust and water jets, and compliance with IEC/EN 60947 and VDE 0660 standards confirms the safety and reliability of the device.
