Six Position Push Button Boxes
6‑position push button boxes are rugged enclosures designed to house six actuator devices, such as push buttons, selector switches, or pilot lights, within a single housing. These boxes streamline control interface layout and wiring while preserving ingress protection, structural integrity, and modular flexibility in industrial systems.
Key Technical Features & Design Criteria
-
Material & Construction: Standard models use 0.063" carbon steel with ANSI‑61 gray powder coating. For corrosive, washdown, or hygienic environments, 304 stainless steel variants are available. Seam welding and cover screws threaded into sealed wells maintain rigidity and enclosure integrity.
-
Hole Pattern & Actuator Compatibility: The typical layout is 2 x 3, with a couple 1 x 6 versions. Accommodates 22.5 or 30.5mm diameter hole sizes.
-
Depth & Internal Clearance: Standard depth (3") gives room for wiring, contact blocks, and interconnects. Extra‑deep variants (4.75" depth) accommodate denser wiring, relay modules, or terminal strips without crowding the actuator mechanics. Sloped front versions allow for easier access.
-
Ingress Protection & Sealing: Rated for NEMA Type 4, Type 12, Type 13, UL Type 4 and 12, and meets IEC IP66 standards. Oil- and water-resistant gaskets preserve protection under vibration, splash, or washdown conditions.

Application Tips
- Choose stainless steel in corrosive, food, or washdown settings, otherwise, carbon steel is sufficient
- Use extra‑deep versions if your internal wiring or components demand additional room.
- Verify actuator-to-hole size compatibility before purchase.
- Confirm ingress rating meets your environment
- Check routing layout to reduce strain on internal wiring.
