Siemens A6X30144206 Pushbutton — White, 10A, IP66/IP67/IP69K
Engineering verification checklist
- Control circuit voltage and type (AC/DC) match the 10A rating in the SPST-NO contact configuration
- Panel cutout is compatible with the front-mounting panel arrangement and 22mm form factor
- Operating temperature range of 25°C to 70°C satisfies the ambient conditions at the installation point
- Ingress protection IP66/IP67/IP69K is appropriate for the environmental exposure (washdown, dust, steam)
- Mechanical and electrical life cycles (10,000,000 each) meet the expected actuations over the equipment lifecycle
- Illumination requirement: the seed part is non-illuminated; verify that no lamp or indicator element is needed for this specific circuit function
- Contact block compatibility: the seed is a complete assembled pushbutton; verify whether auxiliary contacts or special blocks are required beyond the base SPST-NO configuration
- Chemical and cleaning-agent resistance: the IP69K rating implies resistance to high-pressure washdown; confirm that specific cleaning agents used in service are compatible with the actuator material
Key parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Actuator type | Round, Button |
| Circuit configuration | SPST-NO |
| Cap color | White |
| Current rating | 10A (AC/DC) |
| Mechanical life | 10,000,000 cycles |
| Electrical life | 10,000,000 cycles |
| Ingress protection | IP66 / IP67 / IP69K |
| Operating temperature | 25°C ~ 70°C |
| Mounting | Panel Mount, Front |
| Encapsulation / Package | Box |
The SPST-NO contact arrangement provides a normally-open switching pole — the contacts close when the actuator is pressed and return open on release. The 10A rating covers both AC and DC circuits, making the part suitable for general-purpose control-circuit switching across a range of industrial voltage levels.
Physical integration notes
The A6X30144206 is a panel-mount, front-mounting device shipped as a complete pushbutton assembly in a box package. The round actuator and front-mount form factor suggest a 22mm panel-cutout footprint consistent with IEC 60947-compliant industrial operator stations. The IP66/IP67/IP69K sealing level supports deployment in environments subject to high-pressure water jets and temporary submersion, which is typical for food-processing, pharmaceutical, and outdoor enclosures. Operating temperature is rated to 70°C maximum, which should be considered when the device is mounted in enclosed cabinets with limited airflow or adjacent to heat-generating equipment.
Catalog comparison — 3SU1 series bodies
The in-catalog comparison rows below share the Siemens 3SU1 series designation, matching encapsulation (Box), and non-illuminated construction. Unlike the completed A6X30144206 assembly, each alternate listed is a configurable switch body that requires a separate contact block to complete the switching function. These rows are provided for catalog screening purposes only; they do not constitute an approved interchange.
| MPN | Color | Actuator type | Series | Encapsulation | Panel cutout |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6X30144206 | White | Round, Button | — | Box | — |
| A6X30144596 | Green | Pushbutton, Round | 3SU1 | Box | 22.3mm (Round) |
| A6X30144599 | Black | Pushbutton, Round | 3SU1 | Box | 22.3mm (Round) |
| A6X30144587 | Clear | Pushbutton, Round | 3SU1 | Box | 22.3mm (Round) |
Why they are catalog-similar: Each alternate carries the same Siemens brand, a shared 8-character MPN prefix (A6X30144xxx), and matches on the 3SU1 series family, Box encapsulation, non-illuminated actuator style, and ROHS3-compliant status. The primary distinction from the seed is that these alternates are configurable bodies requiring the addition of contact block(s) to form a complete switching element. A6X30144596, A6X30144599, and A6X30144587 provide green, black, and clear cap colors respectively versus the white cap of A6X30144206.
FAQ
What is the contact configuration of the A6X30144206? The device is SPST-NO (single-pole, single-throw, normally open) — contacts close on actuation and return to the open state on release.
What ingress protection does the A6X30144206 offer? IP66, IP67, and IP69K ratings are listed, indicating resistance to dust-tight sealing, temporary water immersion, and high-pressure washdown.
Is the A6X30144206 an illuminated pushbutton? No — the title and specifications identify it as a standard pushbutton without illumination.
