Siemens A6X30141472 Pushbutton Switch
Application Context
The A6X30141472 is a front-panel-mounted industrial pushbutton operator suitable for enclosure door or control cabinet face installation. It is supplied as a complete assembled unit (pushbutton + integrated SPST-NC contact function), distinguishing it from modular switch bodies that require separate contact block selection. The actuator is round with a black cap and carries IP66/IP67/IP69K environmental protection.

Performance Life and Environmental Ratings
The dual 10-million-cycle ratings (mechanical and electrical) place this operator in the extended-lifecycle category typical of 3SU1 series industrial devices. The IP69K rating indicates resistance to high-pressure washdown and steam cleaning, extending usability beyond standard IP65/IP66 enclosed-operator applications. The operating temperature window of 25°C to 70°C covers typical indoor industrial environments without derating.
Electrical and Mounting Characteristics
The SPST-NC (normally closed) contact arrangement provides a fail-safe logic path that opens on actuation. Rated for 10 A in both AC and DC circuits, this suits low-power control circuits as well as branch-level signaling where the contact drives larger switching devices. Front panel mounting is standard for 22 mm or 30 mm cutout systems, though exact cutout dimensions are not specified in the available records.

How these parts compare to the primary:
-
A6X30141412 — A selector switch body (I-O-II function) in the same 3SU1 series. Requires separate contact block(s) for operation, whereas the primary is an assembled pushbutton with integrated contact. Suits multi-position control where pushbutton logic is not needed.
-
A6X30163097 — A contact module (1NC) from the same series, sharing the SPST-NC circuit and 3SU1 encapsulation standard. Sold as a standalone contact block rather than an operator; used to extend the contact configuration of modular switch bodies rather than as a substitute for a complete pushbutton.
-
A6X30141077 — An illuminated mushroom-head pushbutton body in 22 mm format. Shares series and enclosure type; the primary is a non-illuminated round button operator. Both require the buyer to verify compatibility with existing contact block inventory.
All listed parts are in-catalog entries requiring buyer qualification; none are OEM-endorsed direct substitutes.
FAQ
What contact configuration does the A6X30141472 provide? The switch provides a single-pole single-throw normally closed (SPST-NC) contact function.
Can the A6X30141472 be used in outdoor or washdown environments? IP69K ingress protection supports high-pressure washdown and temporary immersion conditions; the operating temperature range is 25°C to 70°C.
Does the A6X30141472 include an illumination source? The title and available records indicate non-illuminated operation; no illumination type or voltage is listed.
