The Schneider Electric XB5AW16B5 is a 22 mm metal push button from the XB5 series, rated for 10 A with utilisation categories AC-15 and DC-13 — meaning it's designed to switch inductive loads like contactor coils and solenoid valves in control circuits, not resistive heaters. The black plastic bezel and NEMA 4X/13 rating mean it withstands washdown, corrosion, and oil exposure — suitable for food-and-bev or machine-tool panels where the operator station sees moisture or cutting fluids.

Frequently asked questions
What is the mounting diameter?
22 mm (0.9 in), the standard panel cutout for this class of metal push button.
What is the utilisation category and what does it mean?
AC-15 and DC-13 — these cover switching of electromagnetic loads (contactor coils, solenoid valves) in control circuits. The 10 A rating applies under these duty conditions.
What environmental protection does it offer?
NEMA 4X/13 — corrosion-resistant, washdown-capable, and protected against oil and coolant exposure typical in machine-tool environments.
