Siemens A6X30142988 — 10 A, Blue, Round Pushbutton, Panel Mount
Overview
The A6X30142988 is a Siemens 3SU1 series front-panel pushbutton in a blue round actuator configuration. The catalog entry specifies a SPST-NO contact function and a current rating of 10 A (AC/DC) at a panel cutout not stated in the data source. Mechanical and electrical endurance are both listed at 10,000,000 cycles; operating temperature range is 25 °C to 70 °C. Ingress protection is rated IP66/IP67/IP69K. Packaging is Box.

⚠ Verification Required Before Selection
The following safety-critical fields are not present in the supplied catalog fields for A6X30142988:
- AC voltage rating (e.g., 230 V AC or 240 V AC category)
- DC voltage rating (e.g., 24 V DC or 110 V DC)
- Breaking capacity / making capacity (AC-15 / DC-13 per IEC 60947)
- Panel cutout dimensions (mm)
- Overall projection / behind-panel depth
- RoHS compliance status
- Contact block part number or type required for assembly
Selection must not proceed on electrical ratings until each point above is verified against the Siemens 3SU1 series datasheet and the specific A6X30142988 official product page.
Integration / Installation Notes
The seed entry classifies this as Panel Mount, Front but provides no panel cutout diameter or bezel dimension. Alternate entries in the same family (e.g., A6X30140688) reference a 22.3 mm round cutout for the 22 mm series; however, no cutout field is present for the seed itself. The installer should confirm whether the A6X30142988 ships as a complete assembled unit or requires a separate contact block (the A6X30140688 body explicitly states "Requires Contact Block(s)").
Ingress protection IP66/IP67/IP69K is stated, indicating suitability for hose-down and temporary submersion environments typical in food, pharmaceutical, or outdoor industrial enclosures. Operating temperature ceiling of 70 °C limits use near hot cabinet surfaces or process areas.
Selection and Substitution Guidance
A6X30142988 is a complete pushbutton (assembled actuator plus integrated contacts), whereas the alternate entries are configurable switch bodies that require separate contact blocks and illumination sources. Substitution with an alternate listed below requires confirmation of:
- Matching electrical rating (10 A minimum for the intended control-circuit voltage).
- Panel cutout compatibility (22.3 mm vs. any other size).
- Whether the substitute is an assembled device or a body-only part requiring additional components.
Do not assume interchangeability solely on MPN prefix similarity.
Similar Catalog Parts
The alternates below share the Siemens 3SU1 series, Box packaging, and an encapsulation field of "Box" with the seed. Only keys present in both the seed and each alternate are shown.

Why Each Is Similar
A6X30140688 — shares the Siemens 3SU1 series, blue color, round pushbutton form factor, and non-illuminated actuation. It additionally specifies a 22.3 mm panel cutout and requires contact block(s) (body-only product). The seed carries no cutout dimension; verify whether A6X30142988 is mechanically identical in this regard.
A6X30140588 — same series, same round pushbutton style, same requirement for contact block(s); differs only in cap color (yellow). The same cutout and body-only caveats apply.
A6X30141188 — same series, same non-illuminated round pushbutton concept, but specifies a 30.5 mm round panel cutout, indicating use in larger-mounting applications. Color is black. Substitution would require a different panel opening and may have different mechanical integration constraints.
FAQ
Q: What voltage ranges can A6X30142988 switch?
The data source provides only a current rating of 10 A (AC/DC) without AC or DC voltage limits. The IEC AC-15 or DC-13 ratings for this series must be confirmed on the Siemens 3SU1 datasheet before specifying for any control-circuit voltage above 24 V.
Q: Does A6X30142988 include a contact block, or must one be ordered separately?
The catalog entry does not state whether this is an assembled device or a body only. By contrast, the listed alternates (A6X30140688, A6X30140588, A6X30141188) explicitly note "Requires Contact Block(s)." Verify with the Siemens configurator or order documentation whether A6X30142988 ships as a complete pushbutton or requires a separate contact block from the 3SU1 series.
Q: Is the IP66/IP67/IP69K rating confirmed for the full assembly including the panel seal?
The seed lists IP66/IP67/IP69K for the pushbutton itself. When installed in a panel, sealing depends on the compatible mounting collar and gasket specified for the 3SU1 series. Verify the appropriate gasket part number from the Siemens 3SU1 accessories list to maintain the stated IP rating in the end installation.
