22 mm Flush Push Button Operator

This Dayton 30G242 is a momentary industrial push button with a 22 mm metal head and black finish. It carries a single normally-open contact rated at 10A @ 600V AC under the A600/Q600 designation. The unit meets NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, 4X, 12 and 13 ratings for dust and water ingress. It is suited for control panels that require a single flush-mounted operator.

Panel Cut-Out and Wiring Requirements

The operator fits a standard 22 mm panel cut-out and uses pressure-plate terminals for secure wire connection. A chrome die-cast aluminium bezel provides a durable mounting surface. No legend plate is included, so labelling must be sourced separately. The device is CE, CSA, IEC and UL listed for compliance with common industrial standards.

Sustained Load and Environmental Behaviour

The metal head and NEMA 4X rating allow the button to withstand repeated actuation in wet or dusty environments without degradation. Contact performance remains stable under continuous 10A AC loads within the rated voltage. The momentary action returns reliably after each press, making it suitable for frequent start or reset cycles in automation equipment.

Questions about this item

How much current can the 10 A / 600 V AC contact handle before it becomes the limiting factor?

The contact is rated for 10 A at 600 V AC with NEMA designation A600/Q600, so sustained loads above 10 A will exceed its rating.

Does the metal head and chrome die-cast aluminium bezel get hot or noisy during continuous operation?

The operator is a passive mechanical switch; it generates no noise or measurable heat of its own during all-day use.

What mounting cut-out and panel thickness does the 22 mm flush booted button require?

It fits a standard 22 mm panel cut-out; the pressure-plate terminals accept wire directly with no extra hardware needed.
