Why the alternatives are similar
A6X30144598 (Pushbutton, Black, Extended Stroke): Shares the same 3SU1 series, box encapsulation, and ROHS3 compliant status. However, it is an operator body with an extended-stroke pushbutton actuator in black—not a flat lens. Suitability depends on the required operator style.
A6X30144632 (LED Module, Amber): Matches the same 3SU1 series and box encapsulation. This is an illumination source rather than a lens, and it is marked RoHS non-compliant while A6X30144818 is ROHS3 Compliant—these do not share compliance status.
A6X30144563 (Pushbutton, Green, Extended Stroke): Matches series, encapsulation, and ROHS3 compliance. Like the other pushbutton alternates, it is a complete operator body with extended-stroke form factor, not a flat lens.

A6X30144818 is a flat operator lens in yellow, packaged individually in a box under the Siemens 3SU1 series.
Operational Context
The 3SU1 series is part of the Siemens SIRIUS ACT modular operator interface program. The flat lens is the front-facing color cap applied over a pushbutton or signal module body. It is a front-element component that requires a compatible 22mm operator body (contact block) behind it to form a complete assembled switch. The flat style differs from extended-stroke or mushroom-head actuator variants also cataloged under this series.
FAQ
What color is the A6X30144818 lens? Yellow.
Does A6X30144818 include a contact block? No. This is the flat front lens only. A compatible contact block or operator body must be ordered separately to complete the assembly.
What panel cutout does the 3SU1 series use? The 3SU1 series is designed around a 22.3mm round panel cutout.
