Siemens A6X30144206 Pushbutton Operator
Overview
The MPN prefix A6X30 places this part within the Siemens 3SU1 22mm industrial operator series. The title and actuator type describe a complete, standalone pushbutton operator — a physical switching element that requires separate contact blocks (sold independently) to form a functional circuit. The JSON fields indicate a non-illuminated, white, round pushbutton with stated ratings of 10A and an IP66/IP67/IP69K enclosure; however, the specific AC voltage rating and making/breaking capacity at that voltage are not populated in the supplied data. Those parameters are essential before selecting this operator for any branch-circuit or control-circuit application.

Verification required before selection: The supplied fields do not include a specific AC voltage rating (e.g., 240 V AC, 400 V AC), making/breaking capacity, contact material, or dielectric voltage-withstand values. A SPST-NO pushbutton rated at 10 A DC does not automatically carry a 10 A rating at mains voltage. Confirm the voltage and current ratings against the Siemens 3SU1 datasheet before specifying this part in any circuit.
Integration Notes
The seed is listed as a complete pushbutton operator. Integration into a control cabinet or operator panel requires:
- A compatible Siemens contact block (sold separately) to complete the electrical circuit.
- A panel cutout — standard Siemens 22mm operators typically use a 22.3 mm round cutout; the exact dimension for this specific operator should be verified in the datasheet.
- Front-panel mounting — the mounting type is "Panel Mount, Front."
The supplied fields do not specify: terminal style (screw, spring cage, plug-in), conductor size range, or required torque specifications. Those details must come from the official Siemens 3SU1 datasheet or product catalog.
Similar Catalog Parts
The alternates listed below share the Siemens 3SU1 series, box encapsulation, non-illuminated configuration, and a 22.3 mm panel cutout. They differ primarily in actuator color and stroke type (extended stroke for the alternates versus standard stroke for the seed). All alternates are categorized as Configurable Switch Bodies — they also require contact blocks and do not include the operator cap.

| Series | — (not in seed JSON) | 3SU1 | 3SU1 | 3SU1 |
| Panel Cutout | — (not in seed JSON) | 22.3 mm Round | 22.3 mm Round | 22.3 mm Round |
| Requires | — (not in seed JSON) | Contact Block(s) | Contact Block(s) | Contact Block(s) |
| RoHS | — (not in seed JSON) | ROHS3 Compliant | ROHS3 Compliant | ROHS3 Compliant |
| Similarity | 1.00 (seed) | 0.72 | 0.72 | 0.72 |
Why they are similar: Each alternate shares the same Siemens 3SU1 series prefix, round operator form factor, and box packaging. The MPN similarity scores are driven by a shared 8-character prefix (A6X30144xxx) and identical values in the series and encapsulation fields. The alternates are the same functional type but in different actuator colors; the seed additionally specifies a standard stroke length versus the extended stroke on the alternates.
What remains unknown: The seed JSON does not include the series designation, panel cutout dimension, or RoHS status — confirming these against the datasheet would enable a tighter comparison.
FAQ
Q: Is the Siemens A6X30144206 compatible with the contact blocks used by the listed alternates (3SU1 series)?
The seed is a complete pushbutton operator. The alternates are categorized as Configurable Switch Bodies, indicating they are designed for the same 22mm Siemens 3SU1 platform and require contact blocks. The seed presumably follows the same modular architecture, but the supplied fields do not confirm compatibility with a specific contact block series. Verify mounting compatibility with the Siemens 3SU1 datasheet.
Q: What AC voltage rating applies to the 10 A current rating for A6X30144206?
The supplied fields list "10A (AC/DC)" without specifying the voltage. A 10 A rating at 24 V DC is not equivalent to a 10 A rating at 240 V AC or 400 V AC. The making current, breaking current, and power factor conditions that define the rating must be confirmed in the Siemens 3SU1 datasheet before this operator is used in any AC control or power circuit.
Q: Does the IP66/IP67/IP69K rating of A6X30144206 allow use in outdoor washdown or food-processing environments?
The ingress protection codes (IP66, IP67, IP69K) indicate resistance to dust, temporary immersion, and high-pressure/steam washdown. The operating temperature range (25°C to 70°C) and any chemical compatibility with cleaning agents are not in the supplied fields. These factors should be reviewed against the datasheet and the intended environmental conditions of the installation.
