Overview
The Allen-Bradley 800T-VBJ6AABB is a 30mm vertical-mount selector switch engineered for industrial machine controls, conveyor systems, and panel-mounted automation stations. Part of Rockwell Automation’s robust Bulletin 800T line, this switch combines proven durability with low-voltage DC/AC compatibility, making it ideal for PLC-interfaced systems and process automation requiring maintained two-position switching.
Key Features
- 6V AC/DC power module for direct integration with low-voltage control circuits and PLC I/O
- 2-position maintained action with standard knob operator—stays in selected position
- 1 N.O. + 1 N.C. contact block—provides dual logic switching capability
- 30mm mounting hole—industry-standard cutout for panel enclosures
- NEMA 1/4/12/13 and IEC IP66/65 ratings—rated for washdown and oiltight environments
- 1,000,000+ mechanical design cycles—proven long service life in demanding applications

Compatibility & Replacements
The 800T-VBJ6AABB is fully modular within the Allen-Bradley 800T family, allowing operator, contact block, and power module interchangeability. Related 2-position selector switches include the 800T-H2A (standard knob) and 800T-H4A (key-operated). For hazardous location applications, Class I Division 2 certified contact blocks are available. Always use original Rockwell Automation contact blocks and power modules to maintain NEMA certification and enclosure ratings. Consult the Rockwell Automation 800T configurator or an authorized distributor for exact cross-references and custom configurations.
