M22-D-Y
ActiveM22 Yellow Flush Push Button
Yellow flush momentary push button for Eaton M22 series. 22.5mm cutout, IP67 front. Complete unit with 1NO contact.
Common Applications
Yellow push button used for abnormal or intervention functions per IEC 60204-1 — yellow signals caution or an action to suppress an abnormal condition. Common on conveyor systems for jam-clear functions, packaging lines for fault reset, and process control panels for alarm acknowledgement. In many panel designs, the yellow button sits between the green start and red stop as the operator's go-to for clearing faults without a full restart. The M22 series IP67 front face handles washdown environments. Pairs with the M22-D-G (green start) and M22-D-R (red stop) for a complete three-button station.

Installation Quick Reference
Panel cutout: 22.5mm. Insert from the front of the panel, secure with mounting nut from behind (tighten to 2-3 Nm).
Contact block: Snap or screw the contact block onto the rear of the button body. Ensure the contact block orientation matches the wiring diagram — NO terminals are usually marked.
Wiring: Use 0.5-2.5mm² stranded wire with ferrules. Tighten screw terminals to 0.8 Nm. Test the button function before energizing the circuit.
Wiring Diagram
Troubleshooting
Button doesn't respond when pressed
Check the contact block first — it's the most common failure point. Test continuity across the NO or NC terminals with a multimeter. If no click is felt, the return spring in the head may be broken.
Works intermittently
Contact block contacts are pitted or burned. Replace the contact block — don't try to file the contacts. Check if the rated cycle count has been exceeded.
Button feels mushy or doesn't click
The spring return mechanism in the button head is worn. Replace the head. The contact block can usually be reused if it tests OK.
