RS PRO Illuminated Push Button Switch, Momentary, Panel Mount, 16 mm Cutout, SPST, Yellow LED, IP67, 36V DC MPB16

RS PRO MPB16 is an illuminated push button switch engineered for use in industrial and commercial control panels requiring momentary actuation. Designed for easy panel integration, this component offers durable panel mounting with a standard 16 mm cutout and is equipped with solder terminals to facilitate stable and secure electrical connections. The yellow LED provides high-visibility feedback for operational status, supporting efficient troubleshooting and operator awareness in automated systems.

This switch utilizes a momentary-action mechanism, making it ideal for control circuits where temporary user engagement is required, such as start/stop operations. The SPST (single-pole single-throw) contact structure ensures reliable circuit opening and closing without complexity, while its round actuator enables comfortable finger operation in high-frequency use scenarios.

With an IP67 ingress protection rating, the MPB16 series offers resistance to dust ingress and water exposure, making it a dependable choice for harsh or moisture-laden environments typical in manufacturing plants, process control, and outdoor installations. Its operational temperature range extends from -20°C to 70°C, increasing versatility for deployment in challenging ambient conditions.

The integrated yellow LED indicator is designed to enhance control visibility in noisy or low-light settings, promoting safe and correct system interaction. Its 36V DC rating and 2A contact current capacity render it compatible with numerous low-voltage DC control applications, such as security systems, instrumentation, medical equipment, and vehicle peripherals.

The RS PRO MPB16 push button features light weight and corrosion-resistant materials, contributing to a long service life and reliable mechanical performance. Its compact footprint, robust enclosure, and anti-vandal construction are engineered for public environments or industrial facilities, ensuring both safety and ease of maintenance. This component helps streamline control circuit design and supports compliance with demanding application requirements.

Typical use cases include industrial process control, security monitoring panels, automotive and transport control systems, professional instrumentation, audio-visual equipment, and energy storage monitoring. The combination of high ingress protection, clear visual feedback, and convenient momentary operation makes this switch suitable for both new installations and panel upgrades in industrial and laboratory settings.
