Schneider Electric XA2ED33 XA2E 3-position selector, 2 NO

XA2ED33: XA2E 3-position selector switch, stay put, 2 NO

The XA2ED33 is a Schneider Electric Harmony XA2 complete selector switch in the XA2E plastic series, with a black standard handle, three positions at 45° and two normally open contacts. It is a maintained (stay-put) operator for a 22 mm panel hole. Seven Star LLC supplies the XA2ED33 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier in Muscat.

The datasheet used for this page is dated 8 Nov 2026 and shows the reference as discontinued: discontinuation is dated 9 Jan 2026 and end of service 1 Jul 2026. Treat availability as stock-dependent and ask about replacement options when you enquire. The datasheet describes the operator as stay put with 3 positions 45°, which is the information you need to decode this reference against others in the series.

Maintained action of the XA2ED33

A stay-put selector stays where the operator leaves it. In a three-position version this typically gives a left, centre and right choice such as manual, off and automatic, or pump A, off and pump B, and the position is the information the control system reads.

With two NO contacts on this unit, one contact closes in each side position, giving two separate command signals from one handle. The mechanical durability on the datasheet is 300000 cycles, a figure well below that of a push-button, so a selector that is turned many times per shift should be checked against the real duty.

Mounting and wiring of the XA2ED33

The selector fits a 22.5 mm hole with the nut tightened to 2–2.4 N.m; panel thickness 1–5 mm. It measures 30 mm wide, 42 mm high and 68.2 mm deep and weighs 0.054 kg. Wiring goes to screw clamp terminals for up to 2 x 1.5 mm² or 1 x 2.5 mm² (minimum 0.5 mm²), or 6.3 mm Faston tabs, tightened to 0.8 N.m.

Keep the wiring of the two contacts distinct: label the left and right positions on the nameplate and on the schematic, because both contacts are normally open and can easily be swapped by mistake during maintenance. Commission by selecting each position in turn and watching the input states at the PLC or relay.

Technical specifications of the XA2ED33

Electrical ratings of the XA2ED33

The rated operational current is 3 A at 240 V AC-15 and 0.27 A at 250 V DC-13; rated insulation voltage is 600 V and impulse withstand voltage 6 kV. A 10 A gL fuse is named as short-circuit protection. Electrical durability is 500000 cycles at 3 A AC-15 / 230 V and 500000 cycles at 0.2 A DC-13 / 110 V. Contact operation is slow-break, and reliability at 24 V is given as better than 10^-8 failures per operation for logic-level circuits.

For low-level PLC inputs, the slow-break contact is perfectly adequate, but add a suppressor if the contacts switch an inductive coil on the same supply.

The XA2ED33 next to its XA2E selector siblings

Within this range of selectors the two references in this range of references differ in action, as the table shows. Both use a black standard handle with three 45° positions and two NO contacts.

Choose maintained for modes and spring return for momentary directional commands.

Where the XA2ED33 is used in Oman and the GCC

Mode and duty selectors on pump panels, fan and chiller controls, and generator or transfer-switch panels commonly use a three-position maintained handle like this unit, for example local-off-remote. The front rating of IP65 handles dust and wash-down, while the rear needs the enclosure to keep out sand and moisture.

In hot panels, check that internal temperature stays within the operating range; the plastic handle and bezel age faster under strong sun.
