Siemens A6X30141746 — 30mm Illuminated Pushbutton, Red, IP69K
Where it fits in the cabinet
The A6X30141746 is a 30mm round illuminated pushbutton designed for front-panel mounting in control enclosures and operator stations. It integrates a red LED element with a 24 VAC/DC illumination supply and carries IP66/IP67/IP69K sealing, placing it in the higher-protection tier of industrial panel switches.
Key specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Actuator | Round, Button |
| Circuit | SPST-NO |
| Actuation color | Red |
| Current rating | 10A AC/DC |
| Illumination | LED, Red; 24 VAC/DC nominal |
| Mechanical life | 3,000,000 cycles |
| Electrical life | 10,000,000 cycles |
| Sealing | IP66/IP67/IP69K — dust tight, water-resistant, waterproof |
| Mounting | Panel mount, front |
The mechanical endurance rating of 3 million cycles is tied to the switch body's actuator mechanism; the electrical endurance of 10 million cycles applies to the contact arrangement under stated load conditions.
Engineering verification checklist
- Confirm panel cutout matches the 30.5mm round requirement for the 3SU1 series
- Verify illumination voltage available in the circuit is 24 VAC or 24 VDC nominal
- Confirm SPST-NO contact configuration suits the intended control logic
- Verify auxiliary contact blocks or illumination source modules are ordered separately (not included in the actuator head package)
- Check that enclosure depth accommodates front-panel mounting projection
- Confirm control-circuit voltage and current are within the 10A AC/DC rating
- Assess whether IP69K pressure-wash cleaning is relevant for the installation environment
- Verify red LED color is correct for the HMI state the operator is expected to recognize
Catalog comparison — in-family peers
The table below lists other A6X301-series Siemens parts in the same 3SU1 30mm platform. These are catalog entries requiring the reader's own qualification; they are not OEM-endorsed substitutes.
| MPN | Title | Illumination | Actuator type | Sealing series |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6X30141746 | ILLUM. PUSHBUTTON. RED | LED, Red | Round button | IP66/IP67/IP69K |
| A6X30141246 | ILLUM. PUSHBUTTON. GREEN | LED, Green | Round button | (see datasheet) |
| A6X30141206 | PUSHBUTTON. RED | Non-illuminated | Round button | (see datasheet) |
| A6X30141256 | ILLUM. PUSHBUTTON. CLEAR | LED, Clear | Round button | (see datasheet) |
Why A6X30141246 is similar: Shares the same Siemens 3SU1 30mm platform, identical box encapsulation, and compatible panel cutout dimensions; the illumination source is still integrated, differing only in cap color (green vs red).
Why A6X30141206 is similar: Matches the same Siemens series and panel cutout; the actuator type and round-button form factor are shared, but illumination is non-illuminated — this part is a base pushbutton without the LED element.
Why A6X30141256 is similar: Same series, same mounting dimensions, same illuminated round-button construction; the clear cap color produces a different visual indication state compared to the red version.
FAQ
Can the A6X30141746 be used as a direct replacement for non-illuminated Siemens 3SU1 pushbuttons? No — the illuminated version requires a separate contact block and an illumination source module. A non-illuminated pushbutton body like A6X30141206 does not include these, so the replacement is not direct even though the mounting cutout is identical.
Does this part include the contact block? The A6X30141746 is the illuminated actuator head. According to catalog records, it requires contact block(s) and an illumination source — both must be ordered separately from the switch body.
What illumination voltage does the red LED require? The nominal illumination voltage is 24 VAC/DC. Confirm compatibility with the available control-circuit voltage before specifying.
