Overview
The Eaton 10250T5 push-pull operator is a heavy-duty 30.5mm (1.25″) pushbutton switch designed for two-position maintained operation in industrial automation and motor control applications. Built with a chrome-plated die-cast zinc body, this operator delivers robust performance in demanding environments where reliability and durability are critical. The maintained push-pull action allows operators to lock the button in either position, making it ideal for start/stop control, safety interlocks, and process sequencing in manufacturing, packaging, and machinery systems.
Key Features
- Compact 30.5mm size for standard door-punch panel cutouts
- Maintained (two-position) push-pull operation—button stays in selected position
- Heavy-duty chrome-plated die-cast zinc construction ensures longevity in vibration-prone settings
- Watertight and oiltight design—IP65 and NEMA 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12, 13 rated for washdown, splash, and chemical environments
- Standard pushbutton actuator with non-illuminated lens
- 1 NO (normally open) / 1 NC (normally closed) contact configuration
- Class I Division 2 rated for hazardous-location flexibility
- UL listed and CSA certified for safety compliance

Typical Applications
The 10250T5 operator is widely used in:
- Automation and logic control equipment (PLCs, industrial controllers)
- Motor starter panels and soft-starter control stations
- Machine tool control consoles and pendant stations
- Conveyor and material-handling system interlocks
- Packaging machinery start/stop and reset functions
- Pump and fan station control in HVAC and water treatment
- Assembly line emergency stop (E-stop) backup or selector control
- Washdown and wet-environment control stations
Compatibility & Replacements
The 10250T5 is a member of the Eaton 10250T Series of 30.5mm heavy-duty pushbuttons and indicating lights. Alternate part numbering includes 10250T-5 and 10250T 5. Standard compatibility is with any panel or enclosure designed for 30.5mm (1.25″) pushbutton cutouts. The maintained push-pull mechanism makes it suitable for drop-in replacement of other two-position maintained operators requiring the same electrical contact configuration (1 NO / 1 NC) and mounting footprint. Cross-check contact configuration and environmental ratings (IP/NEMA) when substituting competing brands such as Schneider Harmony or Siemens SIRIUS pushbuttons.
