Overview
The Allen-Bradley 800T-PA16W is a 30mm illuminated momentary push button from the trusted Bulletin 800T series. This industrial-duty operator is designed for harsh manufacturing and process control environments where visibility and durability matter. Equipped with an incandescent lamp illumination at 120V AC and a white lens cap, the 800T-PA16W provides clear indication and easy actuation with guarded extended head construction. NEMA Type 4/13 rated for indoor washdown and oil environments.
Key Features
- 30mm Compact Size: Standard industrial footprint for panel-mounted control stations and retrofit applications.
- Momentary Action: Spring-return contact for safety-critical stop and emergency functions.
- Incandescent Illumination: 120V AC 50/60 Hz transformer-powered lamp for high-visibility status indication.
- Extended Head with Guard: Prevents accidental actuation and protects the operator button in tight machine guarding scenarios.
- NEMA Type 4/13 Rating: Sealed enclosure suitable for washdown, oil spray, and corrosive environments.
- Standard Contact Block: 1 Normally Open (NO) and 1 Normally Closed (NC) configuration for flexible logic control.
