Cutler-Hammer 10250T Series Introduced circa 1960

Cutler-Hammer 10250T heavy-duty 30mm push button — legacy American industrial standard.

Common Applications

The original heavy-duty American industrial push button. If you are maintaining equipment built between 1960-2000 with Cutler-Hammer controls, these are the buttons. 30mm heavy-duty with NEMA 4/13 rating. Eaton still manufactures direct replacements since they acquired Cutler-Hammer in 1978. The 10250T was to Cutler-Hammer what the 800T is to Allen-Bradley.

Compatibility

Legacy 30.5mm Cutler-Hammer part. Direct Eaton replacement: Eaton 10250T series (same part number — Eaton continues manufacturing under the old numbering). Not compatible with 22mm buttons — requires 30.5mm panel cutout. For new builds, consider migrating to Eaton M22 (22mm) to modernize.

Repair & Maintenance

Same heavy-duty construction as Allen-Bradley 800T. Contact blocks are replaceable. 30.5mm panel cutout means you cannot drop in a 22mm button without an adapter plate.

Installation Quick Reference

Panel cutout: 30.5mm. Insert from the front, secure with mounting nut.

LED module: Check the voltage rating matches your supply (typically 24V DC or 230V AC). Connect to PLC digital output or relay contact for status indication.

Color meaning (IEC 60204-1): Green = normal/running. Red = fault/danger. Yellow = warning/caution. Blue = mandatory action. White = neutral/general.

Troubleshooting

Light is dim or flickering

Check supply voltage matches the LED module rating. Low voltage causes dimming. If voltage is correct, the LED module is failing — replace it. LED modules have finite life (typically 50K-100K hours).

Light doesn't turn on

Verify voltage at the terminals with a multimeter. Check the PLC output or relay driving the light. LED modules are polarity-sensitive on DC circuits — try reversing the leads.
