A-B 800F-X01 Contact Block

A-B 800F-X01 Contact Block

 

 

The Allen-Bradley 800F-X01 is a 22.5 mm push button contact block, used in 800F series pilot devices (push buttons, selector switches, and E-stops).

Product Information

• Brand: Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation)
• Series: 800F
• Part Number: 800F-X01
• Type: Contact Block (Switching Element)
• Contact Type: 1 NC (Normally Closed)
• Mounting: Latch type (rear mounted on operator)
• Terminal Type: Screw terminals
• Rated Voltage: up to 600V AC/DC
• Rated Current: 10A (AC-15 / DC-13 category)

Function (Simple Explanation)

This is not a complete push button.

It is the electrical switching part inside a push button assembly.

• When button is not pressed → NC contact is closed
• When button is pressed → NC contact opens (signal sent to PLC / relay)

So it converts mechanical push action → electrical ON/OFF signal.

System Role

Used together with:

• 800F push buttons
• Emergency stop buttons
• Selector switches

It connects to:

• PLC digital input modules
• Safety relays
• Control circuits

Typical Applications

• Machine start/stop buttons
• Emergency stop circuits (NC safety logic)
• Control panel operator stations
• Industrial automation control systems
• Conveyor and production line controls

Key Features

• Compact 22.5 mm industrial design
• High electrical durability (millions of cycles)
• Strong vibration and shock resistance
• Standard industrial safety switching (NC contact)
• Easy snap-on installation to operator head

Precautions

• Must match correct 800F operator head (not universal)
• Do not use NO-only contacts for safety circuits
• Proper wiring required for safety logic (NC preferred for E-stop circuits)
• Avoid exceeding rated load to prevent contact wear
