Wacker Neuson 5000217651 Switch Reed

The Wacker Neuson Switch Reed is a genuine OEM component designed for the EH 6 M/230, EH 6 M/115, and EH6/M/120 electric breakers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact electrical and mechanical specifications of the original, ensuring the switch circuit operates exactly as intended. Replacing a worn or failed switch reed with the correct OEM part helps restore consistent trigger response and protects the broader electrical system from erratic switching behavior. If you're working on any of the EH 6 M-series breakers, part number is the correct service replacement to specify.

Key Features

• OEM Electrical Specification Match — Manufactured to the original contact geometry and spring tension rating, ensuring proper switching actuation and current continuity in the EH 6 M-series breaker circuit.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to the same dimensions and mounting configuration as the outgoing part, slotting into the existing switch housing without rework or adaptation.
• Confirmed EH 6 M-Series Fitment — Verified for the EH 6 M/230, EH 6 M/115, and EH6/M/120 electric breaker models, covering the core EH 6 M platform variants.
• Consistent Trigger Response Restored — A correctly functioning switch reed delivers clean, repeatable on/off switching; a faulty reed can cause intermittent operation, failure to start, or unintended cut-outs under load.
• Electrical Safety Integrity — As a switching component in a mains-connected electric breaker, using the correct OEM reed maintains the designed circuit protection behavior and reduces the risk of arcing or uncontrolled activation.

A switch reed is a thin, flexible metal contact element inside an electrical switch assembly. When the switch is actuated, the reed flexes to make or break the electrical circuit, controlling power flow to the tool's motor. Over time, repeated flexing and electrical arcing can fatigue or corrode the reed, leading to intermittent contact, failure to switch on, or a switch that won't hold its position — all of which take the breaker out of service until the component is replaced.
