This unique portfolio of Siemens 3SB3 series is a modular range of commanding and signalling devices for front plate mounting and rear conductor connection. The 3SB3 series are round and have a mounting diameter of 22 mm and their actuator is supplied with a holder. Complete units are offered, but only for the most commonly used applications. This amazing range has the following standards: •IEC 60947-1, EN 60947-1, IEC 60947-5-1, EN 60947-5-1, IEC 60947-5-5, EN 60947-5-5 for EMERGENCY-STOP mushroom pushbuttons
Connection methods
These units are available with screw terminals (box terminals), spring-type terminals or solder pins.
The 3SB3 series is made of:
•molded plastic in flat, wound and square design
•metal in round design
They can be mounted by a single person and are climate-proof (KTW 24) to suit industrial applications. Their main purpose of existence is to act as safety emergency-stop pushbuttons and their switching frequency is approximately 1000 operating cycles.
The outer diameter of the actuating element for 3SB35001HA20 is 40 mm with a rotate-to-unlatch mechanism. This exciting unit, according to IEC 60068-2-6 has a vibration resistance of 20 ... 200 Hz: 5g. This is a typical emergency off/stop function device with the operating voltage of AC (alternating current)/DC (direct current) electricity. The Emergency Stop Mushroom Pushbuttons represents worldwide standards, in particular: •IP67 where a device can withstand immersion in one meter of water for 30 minutes The service life for IEC 60068-2-6 is up to 300000 switching cycles. The ambient temperature during operation ranging from -25°C to +70°C, during storage however ranging from -40°C to +80°C.
Frequently asked questions & answers
What is the different between a push button switch for an emergency stop and a general-purpose push button switch?
A general-purpose push button switch is used for controls, e.g. to start machine operation or simply to switch modes. An emergency stop push button switch however, is mainly used as a safety measure to stop hazardous events.
PHASE OUT NOTIFICATION
This product is in obsolescence mode and is due for discontinuation by the manufacturer. We recommend that you review the new pushbutton range SIRIUS ACT which is the alternative range proposed by the manufacturer. Please refer to the 3SB3 / SIRIUS ACT cross-reference guide located in the technical reference section.
