A 19mm push button switch is the right panel cutout when you need more finger reach and legend space than a typical 16mm layout, but you do not need the modular accessory ecosystem that usually drives a 22mm platform. Lock cutout diameter, rear depth, IP/IK, and terminal style before you freeze color, LED rings, or legend artwork.

Part 1. When is a 19mm push button switch the right cutout between 16mm and 22mm?
Panel teams rarely choose diameter for aesthetic reasons alone. The cutout decides punch tooling, legend plate windows, operator target size, and which accessory families remain available later in the project.
Угощение 19 мм as a mid-size metal path:
- выбрать 16 мм when density and compact doors dominate, and operators can still hit the target reliably;
- выбрать 19 мм when gloves, maintenance access, or slightly larger legends matter more than maximum packing density;
- выбрать 22 мм when modular contact blocks, standardized machine-builder accessories, or existing plant standards already lock the hole size.
| Семья из бумаги | Типичная цель панели | Обычный компромисс |
|---|---|---|
| 16 мм | Maximum switch density on compact doors | Smaller finger target and legend window |
| 19 мм | Mid-size metal HMI with better reach than 16mm | Less modular ecosystem than many 22mm platforms |
| 22 мм | Modular industrial standard accessories | Larger front footprint and tooling commitment |
For denser compact layouts, start with the 16mm push button switch guide. When modular 22mm tooling already owns the plant standard, use the 22mm push button switch guide instead of forcing a mid-size retrofit.
More diameter does not automatically mean more switched-load capacity. Electrical suitability still depends on the exact model fields and the circuit duty—not on the hole saw size stamped on the drawing.
Part 2. How do panel cutout, mounting depth, and operator reach drive the 19mm choice?
Mechanical fit fails more projects than color selection. A switch that matches the schematic can still collide with DIN rails, terminal blocks, or cable ducts behind the door.

| Механическая проверка | Why it matters at 19mm |
|---|---|
| Вырубной нож против вырубного штампа | Prevents oval holes that bind the bushing |
| Задний дорожный просвет | Avoids collisions after terminal wiring |
| Целевой размер оператора | Improves hit rate versus smaller 16mm actuators |
| Окно легенды | Supports clearer marking without jumping to 22mm |
Совет: Align device-class language in the BOM with control-circuit device standards, then verify the manufacturer mounting drawing for the exact SKU—standards define scope, not your hole pattern (Аппаратура цепей управления по стандарту МЭК 60947-5-1).
Из поля: Panel threads often ask whether a door already punched for 22mm can accept a 19mm actuator “without redoing the legend plate”—that question is a mechanical retrofit problem, not proof that mid-size metal is universally interchangeable. — шаблон обсуждения выреза в промышленной панели
If gloved operators miss 16mm targets during commissioning, 19mm is frequently the smallest step that improves reach without rewriting the entire accessory strategy around 22mm modular blocks.

Part 3. Which electrical fields and contact layouts matter at φ19mm?
Read the catalogue fields as named evidence, not as marketing adjectives. For industrial control panels, buyers usually compare insulation voltage, thermal current, contact arrangement, and expected life under the stated conditions.
On the ONPOW LAS1GQ-11/S 19mm stainless push button page, listed electrical and life fields include Ui 250V, Ith 20A, mechanical life ≥1,000,000, and electrical life ≥50,000. Those numbers describe documented model attributes; they do not, by themselves, prove a utilization category for every inductive power load.
Circuit questions that still block a mid-size metal choice:
- Сколько путей НО/НЗ требуется по схеме в одном приводе?
- Является ли ответвление командой цепи управления или цепью питания?
- Будут ли освещение, глубина и проводка общими с контактным путем?
- Are pin terminals acceptable, or does the harness require screw terminals?
| Поле на странице | Что поддерживает | Что это не доказывает само по себе |
|---|---|---|
| Интерфейс | Контекст изоляционного напряжения для указанной модели | Полная архитектура безопасности оборудования |
| Ит | Традиционный теплотоковый контекст для указанной модели | Любая нагрузка с коммутацией или работа электродвигателя |
| Механическая / электрическая жизнь | Целевые показатели выносливости в рамках заявленной тестовой концепции | Неограниченные производственные злоупотребления без контроля |
| Contact / terminal style | Wiring method and assembly practice | Interchange with unrelated cutout families |
Важно: Do not assume a larger cutout always carries a higher usable switching capacity—compare the named model fields and the circuit duty before batch drilling (Область применения устройств по стандарту IEC 60947-5-1).
When the project needs illuminated indication with screw terminals on the same mid-size platform, review the optional 19mm ring LED screw-terminal model after the base cutout decision is frozen.
Part 4. How do IP, IK, and materials change 19mm suitability?
Environment and abuse resistance often decide whether a mid-size metal actuator belongs on the door. IP describes ingress protection; IK describes mechanical impact degrees. Neither replaces electrical-duty evidence.
IEC framing:
For LAS1GQ-11/S, the product page lists front IP65, with momentary IP67 made to order, plus IK09. Materials listed on that page include контакты из серебряного сплава, a stainless button/body, and a PC base. Use those statements only within the model evidence boundary—do not invent washdown certificates or impact scores beyond the page.
Material and sealing checks for RFQ:
- front gasket compression against the stated panel thickness;
- whether washdown hits the operator face or the full enclosure;
- stainless preference versus plastic for vandal or abrasion risk;
- base material and terminal style compatibility with harness standards.
For a broader materials decision across product lines, see the metal vs plastic push button comparison in the Руководства в блоге ONPOW cluster.
Part 5. What mistakes push buyers toward 16mm or 22mm instead?
По размеру границы
Choose 19mm when the door needs a mid-size metal target, 16mm feels too small for operators or legends, and the project does not depend on a 22mm modular accessory stack.
Stay on 16mm when packing density is the primary constraint and reach/legend checks already pass.
Move to 22mm when plant standards, modular contact blocks, or accessory continuity dominate the BOM.
Не используйте это руководство для unverified hole-size swaps, emergency-stop functions, or power switching claimed from diameter or Ith alone.
Recurring mistakes that reverse a 19mm decision after drilling:
- copying a competitor photo without checking rear depth;
- assuming any 19mm stainless unit drops into any 22mm hole;
- заморозка светодиодного арт-объекта до подтверждения терминальных и IP-опций;
- treating “metal = always better” without checking cycles and IP face;
- skipping legend-plate redesign when target size changes.
If the review shows modular growth or standardized 22mm tooling, stop the mid-size order and reopen the diameter decision before production.
Part 6. Which ONPOW 19mm stainless models fit documented panels?
After cutout, reach, IP/IK, and circuit checks align, map the requirement to ONPOW’s documented φ19mm stainless options.
| Нужно | Путь к модели | Заметки по страницам |
|---|---|---|
| Base mid-size stainless, pin terminal | LAS1GQ-11/С | φ19mm; Ui 250V; Ith 20A; mech ≥1,000,000; elec ≥50,000; front IP65 (momentary IP67 MTO); IK09; stainless button/body; PC base |
| Illuminated ring + screw terminal | LAS1GQ-11E/L/S | Same electrical/IP/IK class notes on its product page; screw terminal; PA base |
Рекомендация продукта: start with LAS1GQ-11/С when the panel drawing calls for a φ19mm stainless actuator with pin terminals and the listed electrical/IP/IK fields cover the control-circuit use case. Move to the ring-LED screw variant only when illumination and screw termination are firm requirements.
Why not default elsewhere:
- do not force 19mm onto a plant already standardized on 22mm modular blocks;
- do not specify 19mm only for density when 16mm already meets operator and legend needs;
- do not read Ith 20A as a validated motor or direct-load switching claim for every application.
Part 7. What should buyers document before requesting a 19mm quote?
Send a complete RFQ package so engineering can confirm fit without guesswork:
- panel cutout drawing (φ19mm target) and layout revision;
- quantity and destination documentation needs;
- momentary or maintained operation;
- NO/NC contact requirement per circuit;
- Ui / Ith expectations and actual control-circuit voltages/currents;
- front IP target and whether IP67 MTO is required;
- IK or abuse notes for the operator face;
- terminal preference (pin vs screw) and wire gauge;
- illumination / legend specification, if any;
- required materials (for example stainless front) and delivery timing.
Attach section views when rear clearance is tight. Submit the package through send cutout drawings and quantity so the mid-size selection can be confirmed against the exact SKU drawing.
Next step: review the LAS1GQ-11/S 19mm stainless product page, then send the RFQ checklist above for a model-level confirmation.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What panel cutout do I need for a 19mm push button switch?
Plan for a φ19mm installation diameter per the manufacturer mounting drawing. Verify panel thickness, nut engagement, gasket compression, and rear clearance before releasing the punch program.
When should I choose 19mm instead of 16mm or 22mm?
Choose 19mm when operators or legends need more space than 16mm provides, but the project does not require a 22mm modular accessory platform. Keep 16mm for density-first doors and 22mm for modular plant standards.
Are 19mm push buttons suitable for industrial control panels?
Yes, when cutout, ratings, IP/IK, and operator access are documented for the control-circuit use case. Suitability is model-specific—not guaranteed by the diameter label alone.
What IP rating do metal 19mm push buttons typically list?
Many industrial metal fronts publish IP65-class front protection, with higher options depending on the model and order path. ONPOW LAS1GQ-11/S lists front IP65, with momentary IP67 made to order—confirm the exact SKU note for your BOM.
Does a larger cutout always mean a higher current rating?
No. Current-related fields such as Ith are model attributes. A larger hole improves mechanical interface options; it does not automatically increase usable switching capacity.
Can I replace a 22mm switch with a 19mm actuator?
Not without reviewing the cutout, bushing, legend plate, rear depth, and accessory plan. Treat diameter swaps as redesigns, not drop-in substitutions.
What should an RFQ include for a 19mm stainless push button?
Include cutout drawings, quantity, contact arrangement, voltages/currents, IP/IK targets, terminal type, illumination/legend needs, material preference, and delivery documentation. Incomplete RFQs force diameter guesses after the panel is already punched.
