Schneider Electric XB4BS8442 Harmony XB4 Red Mushroom 40 mm Turn to Release 1NC Emergency Stop Push Button

The Schneider Electric XB4BS8442 is a Harmony XB4 emergency stop push button with a 40 mm red mushroom head and a metal bezel. Pressing it mechanically latches the 1NC contact block open until the operator clears it by turning it to release, and the sealed body carries IP66, IP67, IP69 and IP69K protection for installation in a standard 22.5 mm panel cutout.

Selection Notes

The XB4BS8442 resets only by turning it to release: the mushroom head latches mechanically on impact and will not reset itself, so the circuit stays open until someone deliberately clears it — that distinction matters when deciding who on the line is authorized to restart the machine. Its 1NC contact configuration sets how many circuits the e-stop can interrupt directly versus how many need to run through a safety relay. The 40 mm mushroom profile keeps the button reachable and visible at a distance, and the IP66/IP67/IP69/IP69K sealing means wash-down or outdoor mounting does not compromise the latching mechanism.

Applications

Fitted to machine control panels, conveyor lines and operator stations as the primary manual stop function, wherever a 22 mm panel cutout and a 1NC contact block match the safety circuit design.
