Key switch, 2 positions, Stable, Black, 1 NO + 1 NC, 16 mm, Rectangular XB6DGC5B

Key switch – reliable control in your installation

This two-position key switch is a robust solution for controlling electrical circuits where additional protection against unauthorized access is required. Designed for mounting in 16.2 mm diameter holes, it is ideal for control panels, machines and industrial equipment. Made of high-quality materials, it ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation.

Design and application

The switch belongs to the Harmony XB6 series from Schneider Electric, known for its reliability and durability. The key locking mechanism prevents accidental or unauthorized switching of positions, increasing operating safety and protecting connected devices from damage. It has one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact, providing flexibility in configuring control circuits. Simple mounting with flat plug-in connections (Faston) and the possibility of soldering facilitate integration with existing electrical infrastructure.

Key features and benefits

• Safety: Key lock prevents accidental or unauthorized switching, minimizing the risk of failure or hazardous situations.
• Durability: Made of durable materials, resistant to mechanical damage and environmental conditions.
• Versatility: Two switching positions and NO/NC contact configuration allow for wide application in various control systems.
• Resistance to external conditions: IP65/IP67 protection rating guarantees protection against dust and water, enabling operation in harsh industrial conditions.
• Easy installation: Flat plug-in connections (Faston) and the possibility of soldering ensure quick and easy installation.
• Quality standards: Compliance with IEC 947-1, IEC 947-5-1, IEC 947-5-4 and EN 60947-5-1 standards confirms the high quality and safety of the product.
• Compact dimensions: Dimensions of 24 x 18 x 75.5 mm allow for mounting in limited space.

Technical parameters in practice

The black color of the button and front ring provides good visibility and an aesthetic appearance. The switch is designed to operate at temperatures from -25°C to +70°C, making it suitable for use in various industrial environments. It is important to remember the specifics of the connections – Faston facilitates quick connection of wires, but requires appropriate connectors. The use of plastic as the material for the front ring affects its mechanical strength and resistance to chemical factors.
