Key switch, 2 positions, Robust, Black, 1 CO, 16 mm, complete XB6EAG221P

Key switches for industrial applications and control

This key switch from the Harmony XB6 series by Schneider Electric is a reliable solution for controlling and securing electrical circuits. Designed for both professional installers and end-users, it offers simple installation and operation in demanding industrial environments. The key mechanism provides additional security, preventing accidental switching on or off of the device.

Design and functionality

The switch has a robust plastic construction, ensuring durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The IP65/IP67 protection rating guarantees dust and water tightness, making it ideal for use in harsh environmental conditions. Thanks to the flat-pin connection, installation is quick and intuitive. The two-position switch allows for precise control of devices, and its compact dimensions (16.2 mm hole diameter) allow for mounting in limited spaces.

Applications and benefits

The XB6EAG221P switch finds wide application in:

• Control cabinets: as a security element against unauthorized access to control functions.
• Industrial machines and equipment: for switching the power supply to individual components on and off.
• Applications requiring a high degree of safety: where the key mechanism prevents accidental starting or stopping of the device.
• Operator panels: as a human-machine interface (HMI) element.

Using this switch translates to:

• Increased safety: the key prevents unauthorized access to control functions.
• High reliability: the robust construction and high quality of workmanship guarantee long-term, trouble-free operation.
• Simple installation: the flat-pin connection facilitates and speeds up installation.
• Protection against external conditions: the IP65/IP67 protection rating provides dust and water tightness.
• Application flexibility: compact dimensions allow for mounting in limited spaces.

Additionally, the non-latching function ensures stable maintenance of the switch position after a state change, which is important in applications requiring certainty of operation. It has one normally open (1 NO) contact, allowing for easy integration with various electrical circuits.
