Eaton M22-PVLT Selector Switch Actuator, 2-Position, Maintained, Black 263469

The Eaton M22-PVLT selector switch actuator stands out with its maintained 2-position rotary action and black knob, designed for reliable manual control in industrial panels. Unlike momentary switches, it stays in the selected position, making it ideal for ON/OFF or 0/1 functions where the state must persist without continuous operator pressure.

Highlights

• 2-position maintained rotary actuator for stable switching states
• Black knob with 90° throw for clear visual indication
• Mounts in standard 22.5 mm panel cutouts
• Front protection rating IP66 for harsh environments
• Compatible with Eaton M22 series contact blocks (sold separately)

In daily use

This actuator is the front-end component of a modular control system. Install it into a 22.5 mm panel hole, attach a compatible Eaton M22 contact block, and you have a robust selector switch. The maintained action holds the selected position until manually changed, ensuring the controlled circuit remains in the desired state. The black knob provides a clear contrast against typical panel backgrounds, and the 90° rotation gives a positive feel.
