Schneider Electric XB6CW3B1B XB6 Green Lit Push Button 1NO

XB6CW3B1B: green square illuminated XB6 push-button, 12–24 V

The XB6CW3B1B is a Schneider Electric Harmony XB6 complete illuminated push-button for a 16 mm panel hole. It has a green square flush unmarked head, spring return, one normally open contact and an integral LED powered from 12 to 24 V AC/DC. Seven Star LLC supplies the XB6CW3B1B in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.

The datasheet describes the reference as complete, which means the head, LED and contact block come as one assembly. The LED is integral, so there is no lamp to replace; at end of life the whole unit is exchanged. A buyer who wants a button that both acts and lights, in a very compact footprint, is the target user.

Where XB6CW3B1B is used in Oman and the GCC

A compact lit push-button such as XB6CW3B1B is used on small control panels, pendants, test benches, instrument enclosures and OEM machines where board space is limited. In Oman and the GCC it appears on packaged equipment, laboratory and workshop machines and compact starters. The low-voltage LED makes it suited to 24 V DC control, the usual supply on skids and PLC panels.

Heat and dust affect the LED life more than the contact, so keep the enclosure ventilated or shaded.

Mounting and environment of the XB6CW3B1B

The CAD size is 18 × 18 mm across the head with an overall depth of 57 mm, and the net weight is 0.022 kg. It fits a 16 mm hole. The datasheet gives IP65 for the front, UL and CSA NEMA 4, 4X and 13 equivalents where listed, operation from -25 to 70 °C and storage from -40 to 70 °C. Electrical shock protection is class II and the mounting position is any.

The datasheet lists certifications GOST, CCC, UL and CSA. Keep the Faston terminals inside a closed enclosure, as the rear of the unit does not carry the front-face rating.

Technical specifications of the XB6CW3B1B

Contact and lamp circuits of the XB6CW3B1B

The button has one normally open slow-break contact on terminals (13-14), with a travel of 1 mm to the change point and 3.5 mm in total, and an operating force of 3.5 N. The LED has its own supply, separate from the contact circuit, so the lamp can be driven as a pushed-state indicator, as a status lamp from a controller, or both through the wiring chosen. The datasheet lists a steady signalling type, with no flashing built in.

The rated supply is 12–24 V AC/DC, with limits of 6–30 V, and the LED draws 15 mA. A surge withstand of 1 kV in direct contact and 2 kV in free air is stated, and the datasheet also lists resistance to fast transients (2 kV), to radiated fields (10 V/m) and electrostatic discharge (6 kV contact, 8 kV air), with Class B emissions.

Selection checklist and RFQ information for XB6CW3B1B

Send the points below so that the part number can be confirmed against the datasheet and checked for availability in one reply.

• Part number XB6CW3B1B and quantity, in multiples of 1.
• The control supply for the LED, within 12–24 V AC/DC.
• Contact arrangement needed (this part has 1 NO).
• Panel thickness, 16 mm hole size and rear depth.
• Head colour and the nameplate or legend required.
• Delivery location in Oman or the GCC and the lead time you need.

Contact ratings of the XB6CW3B1B

Contact ratings are 3 A at 120 V and 1.5 A at 240 V in AC-15, and 0.22 A at 125 V and 0.1 A at 250 V in DC-13, with 6 A gG fuse protection. Insulation is 250 V at pollution degree 3 with a 4 kV impulse. Electrical life is 1000000 cycles at 230 V under the stated test conditions. Connections use Faston tabs of 2.8 × 0.5 mm, and the contact material is silver alloy (Ag/Ni).

These are control-circuit ratings, so the this unit drives a relay coil or a PLC input rather than a load directly.

Green square head on the XB6CW3B1B

Green is conventionally the colour of start, run, ready or normal operation. A lit green button therefore tells the operator that a function is active or permitted, which is why this part commonly serves as a start button with built-in feedback. The square flush head is easy to press with a gloved finger and presents a larger target than the round 16 mm bezel suggests.

The head is unmarked, so a nameplate or engraved legend next to the this unit must identify the function. Check the project’s colour code before fixing the function, since some plants reserve green for different meanings.
