Schneider Electric Telemecanique XPE-A Foot Pedal Switch

The Schneider Electric Telemecanique XPE-A foot pedal switch is a hands-free control device for industrial machine operation, designed as a single-foot pedal within the Harmony XPEA family to provide reliable actuation in automated processes. Its plastic housing encloses a 1 NO + 1 NC contact configuration with 1-step operation, rated for up to 500 V and 3 A, and it uses screw clamp terminals for secure wiring. The unit accepts M16 or M20 cable gland entries and carries an IP43 protection rating for light industrial environments. Positive opening is included to ensure the contacts return to the open state when the pedal is released, making it suitable for safety-conscious machine control. Commonly installed in machine tools, assembly stations, packaging equipment, and material handling systems, it enables operators to actuate functions without using their hands, supporting production lines, workstations, and automation setups where hands-free activation is required. Certifications include IEC 60947-5-1, UL, and CSA, reflecting its compliance with standard industrial safety and performance requirements. For retrofit, repair, or new equipment integration, common replacements include XPEA110, XPEA121, and XPEA130.
