Main Features and Advantages
The Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 delivers a combination of robust construction, easy installation, and reliable performance that makes it a cornerstone component in industrial control systems.
Compact 22.5mm Form Factor: The Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 is specifically designed to fit standard 22.5mm mounting holes, the most common size in industrial push button applications. This compact profile allows for high-density panel layouts without sacrificing accessibility or wiring space. The front-mount design ensures simple installation and straightforward replacement without requiring access to the rear of the panel.
Durable Thermoplastic Construction: The housing of the Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 is manufactured from high-grade thermoplastic material that resists heat, impact, and corrosion. This construction ensures long-term reliability even in harsh industrial settings where exposure to chemicals, moisture, or mechanical stress could degrade lesser components. The contact block maintains stable electrical performance across its entire operational lifespan.
Secure Screw Terminations: The Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 features screw terminals that accept wire sizes from #18 to #12 AWG, providing versatile connectivity for a wide range of control wiring practices. The termination points are designed for consistent torque application, ensuring secure electrical connections that resist loosening under vibration. This wiring method requires no specialized tools, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures.
Non-Latching Momentary Operation: The Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 operates as a non-latching normally open contact, meaning the circuit remains open until the associated push button is actuated. Once the button is released, the contact returns to its open state, interrupting current flow. This behavior is essential for applications requiring momentary signals, such as start buttons, jog controls, and emergency stop resets.
Broad Compatibility: The Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 is engineered for seamless integration with the entire Bulletin 800F line of 22.5mm push buttons and pilot devices. This compatibility ensures that the contact block can be used across a wide range of operator interface configurations, from simple flush push buttons to illuminated selector switches and emergency stop operators.
