IMO PB02C Non-Illuminated Momentary Push Button – 22mm Green Flush Actuator

This is the IMO PB02C Non-Illuminated Momentary Push Button – a 22mm Green Flush Actuator available at SparksDirect for the best price. Purchase this item with confidence at Sparks today.

The IMO PB02C is a high-quality, non-illuminated green push button designed for industrial control applications. It is the industry-standard choice for representing "Start" or "On" functions in manual control interfaces, providing a reliable and durable user input for machinery. The IMO PB02C is a 22mm modular push button featuring a flush, green actuator. It operates with a momentary action (spring return), meaning the electrical contact is only active while the button is physically held down. This mechanical behavior is specifically designed for signaling "Start" commands to motor starters, control relays, or automated system inputs.

Built for heavy-duty industrial use, the unit is constructed from UV-stabilised, impact-resistant polycarbonate. It carries a high ingress protection rating of IP67, making it completely dust-tight and capable of withstanding temporary immersion in water. The PB02C is a modular component: the actuator clips onto a separate mounting collar, which then accepts various combinations of Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) contact blocks depending on your circuit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose Green instead of Black for a Start button?

A: While both can be used for general inputs, green is the globally recognized color for "Start," "On," or "Forward" functions. This color-coding improves safety by allowing operators to identify the correct function instantly, even in high-pressure situations.

Q: Does this include the internal switching contacts?

A: No. The PB02C is the actuator (the part you see and press). For a complete assembly, you will also need a mounting collar and the relevant contact blocks (usually a Normally Open block for a start function).

Q: Can this button be used in a wash-down environment?

A: Yes. With an IP67 rating, it is well-suited for food processing areas or outdoor equipment where the panel may be exposed to heavy rain or regular cleaning with water.

Who can install this?

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or industrial technician. Because this button is often used to initiate machine movement, it is vital that the associated control circuit is wired correctly to prevent accidental restarts. The installer must also ensure the panel gasket is properly seated to maintain the water-resistance rating.

What is this for?

The IMO PB02C is the primary choice for Active Control Commands:

• Machine Starting: The standard manual input for starting electric motors, conveyors, and production lines.
• Power On: Used to energize control circuits or engage main power contactors.
• Manual Override: Providing a "Jog" or "Inch" command during machine maintenance or calibration.
• Logic Input: Serving as a digital signal for programmed automation sequences in control panels.
