Allen-Bradley 800T Series Introduced circa 1985

Allen-Bradley 800T heavy-duty 30mm red push button.

Common Applications

Legacy 30mm stop button found on older North American machinery. The 800T series was the standard before the 22mm 800F replaced it. Still manufactured for legacy support — if maintaining 1980s-2000s equipment, you will need these.

Installation Quick Reference

Panel cutout: 30.5mm. Insert from the front of the panel, secure with mounting nut from behind (tighten to 2-3 Nm).

Contact block: Snap or screw the contact block onto the rear of the button body. Ensure the contact block orientation matches the wiring diagram — NO terminals are usually marked.

Wiring: Use 0.5-2.5mm² stranded wire with ferrules. Tighten screw terminals to 0.8 Nm. Test the button function before energizing the circuit.

Troubleshooting

Button doesn't respond when pressed

Check the contact block first — it's the most common failure point. Test continuity across the NO or NC terminals with a multimeter. If no click is felt, the return spring in the head may be broken.

Works intermittently

Contact block contacts are pitted or burned. Replace the contact block — don't try to file the contacts. Check if the rated cycle count has been exceeded.

Button feels mushy or doesn't click

The spring return mechanism in the button head is worn. Replace the head. The contact block can usually be reused if it tests OK.
