🔵 Harmony XB5

Harmony XB5 is Schneider Electric’s Ø22 mm plastic control and signalling range, built for high durability, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation.
It is the industry‑standard plastic alternative to the metal XB4 series.


🟦 Core Characteristics

  • High‑performance plastic bezel — double‑insulated, corrosion‑proof, chemically resistant
  • 22 mm mounting — standard cutout; optional flush‑mount kit for a 30 mm sleek finish
  • Modular clip‑on design — operator head, collar, and contact blocks snap together tool‑free
  • Wide environmental ratings — IP66/IP67/IP69/IP69K, Class II insulation, −40 °C to +70 °C

🟧 Typical Components in the XB5 Range

  • Pushbuttons — spring‑return, flush, booted, multi‑button, mushroom
  • Emergency stops — trigger‑action, twist‑release, key‑release
  • Selector switches — 2‑/3‑position, key‑switches, potentiometers
  • Signalling units — LED pilot lights, illuminated pushbuttons, buzzers
  • Panel ports — USB, RJ45 for PLC/programming access

🟨 Environmental & Safety Strengths

  • Ingress protection — dust‑tight, washdown‑ready
  • Class II insulation — no earth bonding needed
  • Chemical & corrosion resistance — ideal for F&B, water treatment, marine

🟩 XB5 vs XB4 — Quick Rule

  • XB5 (Plastic):
    Best for chemical plants, water treatment, food & beverage washdowns, marine, and corrosive environments.
  • XB4 (Metal):
    Best for heavy machinery, foundries, and high‑impact industrial areas.
