It suits safety-critical environments across manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and process industries that rely on a clearly identifiable E-stop to protect personnel and assets. When replacing a component, reference Appleton catalogs or authorized distributors to confirm compatibility with your system’s mounting footprint and overall safety integration for the B40164 model. This description conveys the essential identity and purpose of the Appleton B40164 emergency stop pushbutton switch without extrapolating beyond its recognized role in industrial safety controls.
