Eaton RMQ16 Series Blue Momentary Push Button Actuator, 16 mm Cutout, IP65 RMQ16

Eaton RMQ16 Series Blue Momentary Push Button Actuator, model RMQ16, is designed for robust industrial applications, providing reliable momentary switching with a 16 mm cutout and IP65 protection rating. Its blue square button is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

This actuator conforms to various international standards such as IEC 60068-2-78, IEC/EN 60529, IEC/EN 60947-5, UL 508, CSA-C22.2 No. 14-05, and carries CE marking for safety assurance. The IP65 rating guarantees the device is dust tight and protected against water jets, making it ideal for industrial, electrical automation, manufacturing, and machinery control system use.

The device features a fixing aperture of 16 mm and has a compact behind-panel depth of only 49 mm including terminals, enabling ease of installation in limited spaces. It can be butted together with other devices to maximize panel space efficiency compared to larger 22.5 mm units.

One or two normally open or normally closed contacts, which are sold separately, can be fitted onto each switch for versatile circuit control. The Eaton RMQ16 contacts are color coded and rated for 230 V/4 A low current switching with a life expectancy of three million operations, ensuring durability and reliable performance. The actuator supports wedge base lamps (6V, 12V, or 24V) for integrated illumination options.

The push button has a blue square shape with an 18 mm diameter for clear visibility and accessibility. It is constructed with high-quality plastic and blank push button marking for customization. Compact design allows installation in tight panel spaces while maintaining high information density.

IP65 rating ensures protection from dust ingress and water jets in industrial environments. Conforms to multiple industrial and safety standards to meet global regulatory requirements. Allows combination with multiple contact blocks for varied switching configurations.

Offers long operational life with three million switching cycles for reliable use in industrial automation. Compatible with separately available wedge base lamps for enhanced illumination capabilities.

This Eaton RMQ16 series actuator is well-suited for use in industrial automation, control panels, manufacturing lines, and electrical machinery. Its high protection rating and compliance with international standards make it an excellent choice for demanding applications requiring durable and reliable push button actuators.
