Overview
The Allen-Bradley 802T-AP is a Bulletin 802T heavy-duty plug-in limit switch designed for demanding industrial position sensing and control applications. This model features 2 normally open (N.O.) contacts rated 10A at 600V, combined with metal body, NEMA Type 4/13 oiltight construction, and 1/2″ NPT conduit entry for reliable operation in harsh environments. The 802T-AP uses a separate wiring base that provides quick and easy switch replacement with no need for complete electrical disconnection, making it a drop-in solution for production maintenance and emergency repairs.
