Overview
The Allen-Bradley 800T-JX20 /U selector switch is a 30mm, non-illuminated industrial control device engineered for demanding automation environments. This 3-position spring return unit combines Rockwell Automation’s proven design with robust construction for reliable on/off switching in control panels, machinery stations, and process equipment.
Key Features
- 3-Position Spring Return Operation: Knob lever actuator with spring return to center or designated position
- 30mm Standard Size: Fits industry-standard 30.5mm panel cutouts; compatible with existing Bulletin 800T systems
- NEMA 4/13 Rated: Watertight and oiltight construction for corrosive or wet industrial environments
- Wide Temperature Range: Rated -40°F to 131°F (-40°C to 55°C) for harsh facility conditions
- Wire Compatibility: Accepts 18 to 14 AWG control wiring; supports standard contact block configurations
- New in Box Condition: Factory-sealed with no prior field use; maintains original specifications and reliability

Typical Applications
The 800T-JX20 /U is ideal for manual selector functions in industrial control:
- Multi-position equipment mode selection (Off/Run/Manual, etc.)
- Pump or fan on/off switching with position feedback
- Process mode selection in manufacturing lines
- Maintenance and emergency control stations requiring spring-return safety
- Panel-mount selector logic in wet, oily, or corrosive environments (food, chemical, washdown facilities)
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Bulletin 800T selector switch series and component systems
- Allen-Bradley/Rockwell modular 800T contact block configurations
