800F-A5A5

1. Overview

The Allen-Bradley 800F-A5A5 is a legacy composite catalog number from Rockwell Automation's 800F family — a 22mm (IEC-standard) modular push button series. The 800F line is one of Rockwell's core pilot device platforms, available in plastic (800FP) and metal (800FM) sub-variants, offering IP65/66/69K ingress protection, momentary or alternate action operation, and a modular back-of-panel architecture. The "A5A5" designation follows the 800F composite coding convention: "A" denotes the non-illuminated flush operator type, "5" encodes yellow as the button color, and the repeated "A5" likely indicates the paired contact configuration code (flush operator + yellow) assembled as a single-order composite SKU. This part number is not listed in any active Rockwell Automation catalog and is not found in secondary-market inventory, consistent with the 800F series' transition to disaggregated component ordering (e.g., 800FP-F5 + 800F-X10) or consolidated "800FD-" monolithic composites.

2. User Sentiment

No user reviews or forum discussions specific to the 800F-A5A5 composite SKU were found online, which is expected for a legacy placeholder part number that was likely used in internal or distributor ordering systems rather than widely published. The broader 800F yellow flush push button family (800FP-F5, 800FM-F5) receives no notable complaints in available sources; these products are characterized as reliable, easy to install, and well-rated for general industrial use. Users on industrial supply platforms such as MROSupply and Santa Clara Systems show consistent in-stock availability of the yellow flush variants, suggesting sustained demand for this color/style combination even as the composite SKU itself has been retired.

3. Real-World Applications

The 800F 22mm yellow flush push button is commonly deployed in industrial control panels, machine tool stations, conveyor control systems, and process automation equipment. Yellow is conventionally used in industrial standards (IEC 60204-1) for caution/abnormal condition functions — for example, restart after an emergency stop, acknowledge, or reset controls — making the A5A5 color/type combination particularly suited for safety-adjacent control tasks. Industries include manufacturing, food and beverage (IP69K variants), packaging machinery, material handling, and oil and gas.

4. Technical Specifications

• Type: 22mm non-illuminated momentary flush push button operator (composite includes operator + contact block)
• Color: Yellow (color digit "5" confirmed across 800FP-F5, 800FM-F5, 800F-AF5, 800FP-MM45, 800FM-LF5 — all yellow)
• Operator style: Flush round head

5. Ordering & Compatibility

The 800F-A5A5 composite SKU is a legacy number not found in Rockwell Automation's active catalog or any distributor system. The functional equivalent today is assembled from components: operator (800FP-F5 ~$8–12 retail, or 800FM-F5 ~$25 for metal) plus contact block (800F-X10 for 1NO, 800F-X01 for 1NC). The 800FD-F5X10 is a current monolithic composite equivalent (flush yellow + 1NO, screw terminals). Compatible accessories include the 800F-AMEGY yellow metal guard ring, 800F series legend plates, and 800F mounting rings. The 800F family uses the same 22.5mm cutout as the 800FP (plastic) and 800FM (metal) variants and is interchangeable with 800FD monolithic composites.

6. Known Issues

No significant issues reported specifically for the 800F-A5A5 SKU, which is expected given it is a legacy composite number absent from active documentation. For the broader 800F yellow flush family: no recurring failure modes or quality complaints appear in available sources. Note that the 800F-A5A5 composite SKU cannot be ordered from Rockwell Automation or mainstream distributors — procurement requires identification of the equivalent current part numbers (800FP-F5 or 800FM-F5 plus appropriate contact block). Buyers should also note that the color code "5" = Yellow is consistent and confirmed across all 800F sub-variants, but the exact contact configuration encoded in "A5A5" (second A5) requires verification against the locked Rockwell support document (answer ID 1058985) for full authoritative decode.
