Eaton M22S-WLKV-Y Selector Switch Actuator, 3-Position, Knob, Black, Plastic Front Ring 284543

Panel builders and machine OEMs use the Eaton M22S-WLKV-Y selector switch actuator to give operators a clear, tactile way to choose between three maintained positions. The black knob and plastic front ring mount into a standard 22.5 mm cutout, making it a direct fit for control panels, conveyor systems, and packaging machinery.

Why choose it

The M22S-WLKV-Y is part of the modular Eaton M22 series, so it snaps together with compatible contact blocks without tools. Its front protection rating of IP66, IP67, and IP69K holds up against dust, temporary submersion, and high-pressure washdowns, which is why it appears in food processing and outdoor equipment.

Ideal use cases

• Machine control panels requiring a maintained 3-position selector
• Washdown environments where high-pressure cleaning is routine
• Retrofits of existing Eaton M22 installations
• Applications needing a non-illuminated, robust operator control

Good to know

The actuator is supplied as a single piece; contact blocks and mounting adapters are ordered separately. The switching angle is 2 x 45°, giving distinct detents for each position. The black knob provides visual contrast on light-coloured panels.
