Overview
The Allen-Bradley 800T-PB16A is an amber-colored 30mm momentary illuminated pushbutton manufactured by Rockwell Automation for industrial automation and control applications. This pushbutton operates at 120V AC 50/60 Hz and features incandescent illumination. It has an extended head without guard and is rated for Type 4/13 indoor use, making it suitable for panel mounting in harsh manufacturing environments. The unit provides tactile feedback and momentary contact action, returning to its normal state when released.
Key Features
- Momentary action with extended head design without guard
- 1 normally open and 1 normally closed contact configuration (1 NO, 1 NC)
- 120V amber incandescent illumination with round lens and standard mounting block
- Multiple certifications including UL, CE, CSA, and CCC
- Transformer-based power supply for reliable operation
- Fingersafe terminal design (no exposed live parts)
