AutomationDirect GCX1226-24 Push Button Switch

The GCX1226-24 is a 22mm metal mushroom-head pushbutton from AutomationDirect with incandescent illumination and an IP65-rated housing, built for 24V AC or DC control circuits in demanding industrial environments. It features a twist-to-release red actuator, a 40mm round mushroom head, and a durable metal base with a matching bezel, delivering a robust control interface in panels or enclosures. The switch provides a single normally closed (NC) contact block, suitable for simple on/off signaling and interlock-style applications where a clear, tactile shutdown action is required. Illumination is incandescent, powered from 24V AC/DC, and when lamp replacement is needed, ECX1902-5 replacement bulbs are available (5 per pack) to keep downtime minimal. Part of AutomationDirect’s GCX family of 22mm pushbuttons, the GCX1226-24 combines rugged construction with reliable lighting in a compact, panel-mounted package, making it a common choice for stop/start control, process signaling, and machine safety interlocks in harsh environments.
