Siemens A6X30141472 Pushbutton Switch
Overview
Installed on a control cabinet door or operator panel, the A6X30141472 is a pre-assembled, front-panel-mount pushbutton operator head from Siemens' 3SU1 series. The unit presents a black, round actuator and is rated IP66/IP67/IP69K for environments requiring frequent washdown or exposure to dust and moisture. The catalog entry specifies 10A (AC/DC) current capacity with both electrical and mechanical life of 10,000,000 cycles, and a front-panel mounting arrangement.

Verification required before selection: The supplied catalog fields do not include panel cutout dimensions, terminal type/size, contact block compatibility (whether a separate contact block is required or included), or wire termination style. Confirm these against the official Siemens 3SU1 datasheet and installation manual. The 10A rating spans AC and DC; the applicable AC voltage range and DC voltage limit must be verified for your circuit voltage.
Ordering-Code / Family Context
The MPN prefix A6X3 aligns with Siemens' 3SU1 operator-switch family. In this series, Siemens separates complete assembled pushbutton operators from modular bodies and separate contact blocks. The seed MPN A6X30141472 appears as a finished pushbutton head unit. The alternates listed include both configurable switch bodies (which require separate contact blocks) and a contact block (A6X30163097). This distinction matters during ordering—ensure you order the correct part type for your assembly strategy.

Why A6X30141412 is similar: Both parts share Siemens branding, the 3SU1 series, box encapsulation, and MPN prefix conventions. A6X30141412 is a non-illuminated selector switch body requiring separate contact blocks, whereas A6X30141472 is a complete pushbutton operator; panel cutout differs (30.5mm vs unspecified for seed).
Why A6X30163097 is similar: Both share SPST-NC circuit configuration, 3SU1 series, and box encapsulation. A6X30163097 is a contact block module (1NC) that mounts beneath an operator body; it does not include an actuator head. Verify termination style and whether it meets your current and voltage requirements.
Why A6X30141072 is similar: Both are 3SU1 series devices with box packaging and share MPN prefix conventions. A6X30141072 is an illuminated mushroom-head pushbutton body (22.3mm cutout) requiring separate contact and illumination sources; the seed A6X30141472 is a non-illuminated standard round pushbutton.
Selection Notes
- A6X30141472 is cataloged as a complete pushbutton unit. The SPST-NC contact arrangement means one normally-closed pole; verify this matches your circuit logic.
- The IP66/IP67/IP69K rating supports outdoor or high-pressure washdown applications—confirm the enclosure or panel gasket complement maintains this rating at the panel interface.
- Operating temperature range of 25°C to 70°C is typical for industrial operator devices; verify adequacy for your environment.
- Contact block compatibility was not listed in the supplied fields. If the A6X30141472 requires a separate contact block (typical for Siemens modular operators), ensure the block's rating meets or exceeds the 10A AC/DC specification.
- Do not substitute A6X30163097 (contact block only) where a complete operator head is required, and vice versa.
FAQ
What panel cutout is required for A6X30141472? The data source did not provide panel cutout dimensions for this MPN. Consult the Siemens 3SU1 datasheet for the recommended hole size and mounting procedure.
Is a separate contact block required for A6X30141472? The catalog entry does not specify whether a contact block is included or required. Verify with the datasheet or product page whether the unit ships as a complete operator or requires a matching Siemens 3SU1 contact block.
What is the maximum switching voltage for A6X30141472? The current rating (10A AC/DC) is listed, but the AC and DC voltage limits are not provided. Confirm maximum voltage from the Siemens datasheet before specifying in circuits above 240V AC or 24V DC.
