The Schneider Electric XB5AW14B5 is a 22 mm plastic pushbutton with an integral light block, intended for 24 VAC/DC red illumination. It carries a line rated current of 10 A and is listed under utilisation categories DC-13 and AC-15, meaning it can switch DC solenoid loads and AC inductive loads at that current — not just resistive. The black plastic bezel and NEMA 4X/13 rating make it suitable for indoor washdown or corrosive environments, though the plastic construction limits impact resistance compared to metal-bodied XB4 equivalents.
The 22 mm mounting diameter is the standard panel cutout for this class of pushbutton, so it fits any enclosure drilled for a 22 mm hole. The DC-13 rating is the one to watch: it governs switching of DC solenoids and contactor coils, where the arc extinction is harder than AC. At 10 A DC-13, this button can handle moderate DC loads, but if your circuit draws inrush above that, you will need to derate or step to a higher-rated device. The NEMA 4X/13 seal means it resists corrosion and dust ingress — fine for food processing washdown or outdoor enclosures, but not submersible.
