Environmental and Mechanical Ratings
Ingress Protection
The enclosure achieves IP66/IP67/IP69K ratings, indicating protection against dust-tight conditions (IP6x), water immersion (IPx7), and high-pressure steam washdown (IP69K). This makes the unit suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, and outdoor enclosures where periodic washdown is required.
Mechanical Endurance
Both electrical and mechanical life are specified at 10,000,000 cycles under stated load conditions. Panel mounting is front-access only; the switch requires a compatible contact block (sold separately) for circuit completion.

- A6X30143984 shares the green color and 3SU1 series compatibility but is an illumination source component, not an operator body. It requires pairing with a pushbutton body to form a complete illuminated switch assembly.
- A6X30144596 and A6X30144594 are extended-stroke pushbutton bodies within the same 3SU1 series, sharing the 22.3mm panel cutout dimension and requiring contact blocks for operation. Both are non-illuminated green operators suited for front-panel mounting.
