Overview
The Allen-Bradley 800T-B9A is a professional-grade 30.5 mm push button operator featuring an extended head design with yellow color for clear visual identification. Part of the industry-proven Bulletin 800T family, this 800T-B9A unit is built for momentary contact operation in Type 4/13 (watertight/oiltight) enclosures. It operates at full load without illumination and integrates seamlessly into PLC-based control systems and standalone starter stations.
Key Features
- Extended head design — Prominent yellow operator for easy identification and gloved-hand operation
- Momentary contact — Returns to neutral position when released; suitable for standard start/stop circuits
- Type 4/13 rated — Watertight and oiltight for indoor industrial environments
- 30.5 mm mounting hole — Standard footprint compatible with 800 series modular stations and enclosures
- Non-illuminated — Metal construction with no lamp or lens cap; direct tactile feedback for operator control
- Proven durability — Direct drive mechanism with pentafurcated contacts for reliable low-voltage switching
