Siemens A6X30141370 Pushbutton Switch
Key Selection Trade-offs for A6X30141370
- Contact configuration — SPST-NO provides a single normally-open pole; confirm circuit logic matches the intended control function (no NC path in the basic unit).
- Environmental sealing — rated IP66/IP67/IP69K, enabling washdown and temporary submersion use; however, the actuator type is non-illuminated, limiting visual status indication in low-light environments.
- Panel mounting format — front-mount panel installation with specified operating temperature range 25°C to 70°C; verify enclosure thermal budget does not exceed this window.
- Current and voltage class — 10A rating applies to both AC and DC circuits; when switching DC loads, consider that contact arcing is more severe than equivalent AC — verify load characteristics against the stated 10,000,000 mechanical cycles.
- Actuator style — round button configuration is optimized for human-machine interface roles; if aesthetic or labeling differentiation is required in an operator panel, the Siemens 3SU1 series offers selector and illuminated variants.

Comparison with In-Catalog Parts
The catalog lists Siemens A6X30141370 alongside several selector switch bodies from the same 3SU1 series. Selector switches in this context are separate bodies that require contact block assemblies (sold independently) to form a functional switching element.
| Parameter | A6X30141370 | A6X30141379 | A6X30141310 |
|---|---|---|---|

| Color | Black | Red | White |
| Illumination | Non-Illuminated | Non-Illuminated | Non-Illuminated |
| IP Rating | IP66/IP67/IP69K | Not stated | Not stated |
| Series | — | 3SU1 | 3SU1 |
| Encapsulation | Box | Box | Box |
| Similarity | — | 0.80 | 0.76 |
Why they appear in proximity: same Siemens brand, shared 3SU1 panel cutout dimensions (30.5mm round), and identical packaging encapsulation. The selector variants serve different operator roles (position selection versus momentary/alternate push action) and require the reader's own qualification to determine suitability for a specific control scheme.
Engineering Verification Checklist
- Coil voltage or contact rating matches load requirements (10A AC/DC confirmed; DC arc consideration applies)
- SPST-NO polarity matches circuit logic (no NC contact in base unit)
- Panel cutout and front-mount clearance compatible with enclosure design
- Operating temperature range (25°C to 70°C) compatible with ambient conditions
- IP66/IP67/IP69K sealing sufficient for intended washdown or environmental exposure
- Mechanical life cycle count (10,000,000) aligned with expected service life
- Human-machine interface requirements satisfied (round button; non-illuminated)
FAQ
What contact configuration does A6X30141370 provide? The switch is SPST-NO (single-pole, single-throw, normally open). The base unit does not include a normally-closed contact.
Can this pushbutton be used in outdoor or high-pressure washdown environments? The IP66/IP67/IP69K rating indicates protection against dust tight conditions, water resistance, and water-jet waterproofing suitable for high-pressure washdown. Verify that the mating enclosure maintains equivalent sealing.
What panel cutout size accepts the A6X30141370? The record does not specify a cutout dimension for this pushbutton body. Other parts in the 3SU1 series specify a 30.5mm round panel cutout; confirm compatibility with the specific MPN.
