Overview
The Allen-Bradley 802T-KP is a metal plug-in oiltight limit switch engineered for position sensing in industrial automation and process control. With NEMA Type 4 and Type 13 oiltight construction, this switch operates reliably in harsh environments including oil spray, moisture, and contamination. The vertical side push roller actuator and 2-circuit contact configuration make it suitable for machine guarding, conveyor systems, and heavy manufacturing automation.
