M22-DDL-YR-K7
ActiveEaton M22-DDL Double Illuminated Pushbutton (YR/K7 unverified; std = GR green/red)
Eaton M22 double-actuator yellow/red illuminated.
Common Applications
Dual button: yellow (jog/test) on top, red (stop) on bottom. Both illuminated. Saves panel space in compact control stations.
Research Notes
1. Overview
The Eaton M22-DDL is a double-actuator illuminated pushbutton in the M22/RMQ-Titan 22.5 mm system — two momentary buttons (typically I / O) sharing a single 22.5 mm mount with a central LED indicator. The standard, catalogued variant is M22-DDL-GR (top green "I" / bottom red "O", Eaton no. 216698). It is a head/actuator — contact blocks and the LED element are added separately. (Data-quality note: this entry's exact code "M22-DDL-YR-K7" could not be verified — "M22-DDL-YR" (yellow/red) returns no product results, and "K7" is not a valid Eaton contact code (real M22 blocks are K10 = 1 NO, K01 = 1 NC, K11 = 1 NO+1 NC, K20 = 2 NO, etc.). The standard double illuminated pushbutton is the green/red GR version.)
2. User Sentiment
M22 double pushbuttons are valued for putting two functions (I/O, up/down, fwd/rev) in one 22.5 mm hole with a shared indicator, saving panel space. Standard M22/RMQ-Titan build quality and modular servicing apply. The catalog gotcha (as here) is specifying the exact color pair and contacts correctly — the head, contact blocks (one per button), and LED element must be ordered/assembled to match.
3. Real-World Applications
Start/stop (green I / red O), up/down, or forward/reverse control from a single 22.5 mm double pushbutton with a central lit indicator — machine and control-panel duty.
4. Technical Specifications
- Type: M22/RMQ-Titan double illuminated pushbutton, 22.5 mm (two momentary buttons + center LED)
- Standard colors: green (I) / red (O) — GR variant (216698)
- Contacts: one contact per button (e.g. 1 NO + 1 NC) — added via M22 K-blocks; "K7" is not a valid Eaton block code
- Illumination: central LED (voltage per LED element, e.g. 24 V)
- Cutout: 22.5 mm
- Sealing: IP67 (front) typical
- Approvals: UL, CSA, CE
5. Ordering & Compatibility
Order the double-actuator head plus matching contact blocks (K10/K01/K11 per button) and LED element, OR a complete catalog number. Verify the color pair (standard is GR green/red) and use valid contact codes — reconcile the stored "YR-K7" against Eaton's M22-DDL catalog before ordering.
6. Known Issues / DQ
- DQ: "M22-DDL-YR-K7" is unverified — yellow/red pairing not found (standard is GR green/red) and K7 is not a valid Eaton contact code. Flagged for reconciliation. The M22-DDL double pushbutton family itself is genuine.
- Practical care: it's a modular head (contacts/LED separate), so confirm the full assembly; match LED voltage; and use correct K-block codes.

Pn note
|
M22-DDL-YR (yellow/red) not found in Eaton catalog; standard variant is M22-DDL-GR (green/red, 216698). K7 is NOT a valid Eaton contact code (real: K10=1NO, K01=1NC, K11=1NO+1NC). Contact config 1NO+1NC is plausible (one per button) but the -K7 string is invalid. Reconcile color/contacts before use.

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.

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.
