Illuminated Pushbutton Actuator · Blue Projecting Head · Spring Return · ITC Electrical RB2-BW16-B

What this product is for

This 22 mm illuminated pushbutton actuator is used on industrial control panels, operator stations, and machine interfaces where a momentary spring-return pushbutton is required. The blue projecting head provides clear visual identification for control functions that need lamp indication.

Use for

Use for panel doors, control enclosures, and OEM machinery with a standard 22 mm mounting hole. Commonly used with compatible contact blocks and pilot lamp circuits where a BA9s lamp socket style is required.

Avoid for

Avoid for maintained-position applications, selector-switch functions, or installations that require a complete assembled pushbutton station with contacts and lamp included. Confirm compatibility with the matching operator body and contact blocks before ordering.

Best for

Best for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance teams replacing or building 22 mm metal-bezel control devices in industrial environments. It suits applications needing a projecting blue operator with momentary spring return.

Installed in

Typically installed in control panels, machine cabinets, operator stations, and industrial enclosures. Fits standard 22 mm panel cutouts, which is approximately 7/8 in.

Why this product exists

This actuator provides a standardised illuminated operator for control circuits where operators need both pushbutton action and visual status at the same device location. The spring-return action brings the button back to its normal position after release.

Compared with similar products

Compared with flush-head operators, a projecting head is easier to locate and press with gloves. Compared with maintained pushbuttons, this spring-return version is intended for momentary operation only. Compared with non-illuminated heads, this version is designed for use with a lamp socket assembly for local indication.
