Overview
Esbee EG04KX0C00 22 mm Key Selector Switch Head is a 2 position lock and key actuator from the Esbee Gen Next modular range. It switches between two maintained (stay put) positions across a -45° to +45° swing, and the key can be removed in both positions, so the switch can be locked in either state. The head has a PU coated collar, fits a standard 22.5 mm panel cutout and accepts Esbee snap-on contact blocks, so the contact arrangement can be built to suit the application. The front of panel is protected to IP65 and the unit is CE marked and RoHS compliant.

FAQs
What does the Esbee EG04KX0C00 do?
The EG04KX0C00 is a 2 position key selector switch head. Turning the key moves the switch between two maintained positions across a -45° to +45° swing, and it stays in the selected position until the key is turned back.
Can the key be removed from the EG04KX0C00 in both positions?
Yes. The key can be removed in either position, so the switch can be locked in whichever state is selected. This is the main difference from key heads that only release the key in one position.
What is the difference between EG04KX0C00 and EG04KW0C00?
Both are 2 position, stay put key switch heads with the key removable in both positions. The EG04KX0C00 has a -45° to +45° swing, while the EG04KW0C00 has a 0° to +45° swing.
Does the EG04KX0C00 include contact blocks?
No. The EG04KX0C00 is supplied as the operator head. Esbee modular NO and NC contact blocks are ordered separately, with screw or sprung terminal versions available from Charter Controls.
What panel cutout does the EG04KX0C00 need?
The EG04KX0C00 fits a standard 22.5 mm panel cutout, the usual hole size for 22 mm control devices, and is secured from behind with a locking nut.
Can I get a spare key for the EG04KX0C00?
Yes. The spare key for Esbee key switches is stock code HB900023 (type 455), available from Charter Controls.
