Overview
The Allen-Bradley 802T-ALP oiltight limit switch combines rugged industrial construction with plug-in convenience. This bulletin 802T switch provides heavy-duty pilot ratings, small size, a high degree of versatility, and NEMA Type 13 oiltight construction, making it suitable for harsh manufacturing environments. Plug-in styles feature a head and switch body that can be replaced while leaving the wiring chamber base in place, reducing downtime by eliminating the need for rewiring upon switch replacement.
