I've wired up enough control boxes and custom rigs to know a good switch when I feel one click into place. These 22mm 2-position maintained selector switches from APIELE deliver that satisfying, no-wobble action every time. Whether you're panel-building for shop equipment or tinkering with a home automation setup, they mount cleanly in standard 22mm holes and hold your setting through vibrations and daily use.
The maintained design means no springs popping back—your selection stays put until you turn the knob again. Each switch packs a single normally open (1NO) contact rated for solid performance, handling the loads you throw at it without chatter or failure. They're built to echo Schneider XB2-10X/21 specs, so compatibility isn't an issue if you're replacing or expanding industrial setups. The black knob turns smoothly between positions, and the metal body shrugs off dust and grime better than plastic alternatives.
Picture this: In my garage workshop, I slapped one on a power distribution box to toggle between battery and mains—stays selected even when tools jostle the bench. Arcade enthusiasts love them for coin doors or start buttons, giving that authentic mechanical feel. For guitar pedal builders, they're ideal for mode switching on overdrives or delays. Even in R/C projects, they control functions like lights or gear modes without accidental shifts. Mount them on enclosures, dashboards, or front panels; the flat design fits flush.
These aren't fragile hobby switches; they're rated for thousands of cycles in real environments. The terminals accept standard wires, and soldering is straightforward if needed. I've run them in humid shops and dusty barns—no corrosion issues after months. If you're searching for '22mm selector switch maintained' or 'XB2 replacement,' these fit the bill without the premium price. Pair with pilot lights or pushbuttons for a pro-looking panel that functions as good as it looks.
Stock up on this pack and tackle your next project with confidence. They'll be the switches you reach for again and again.
