A-B 800F-X10 Contact Block

A-B 800F-X10 Contact Block

 

 

The Allen-Bradley 800F-X10 is a 22.5 mm push button contact block, used in the 800F pilot device system. It provides a single normally open (1 NO) switching contact for control circuits.

Product Information

• Brand: Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation)
• Series: 800F
• Part Number: 800F-X10
• Type: Contact Block (Switching Element)
• Contact Configuration: 1 NO (Normally Open)
• Mounting Type: Latch-on rear mounting
• Terminal Type: Screw terminals
• Rated Voltage: up to 600V AC/DC
• Rated Current: 10A (AC-15 / DC-13 utilization category)

Function (Simple Explanation)

This is not a complete push button.

It is the internal electrical contact part that converts mechanical action into an electrical signal:

• Button not pressed → contact open
• Button pressed → contact closes (signal sent to PLC / relay)

So it is a signal switching component inside a control button assembly.

System Role

Used with:

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

Connected to:

• PLC digital input modules
• Safety relays
• Control circuits (24V DC or AC logic systems)

Typical Applications

• Machine start/stop control
• Industrial control panels
• Conveyor systems
• Pump and motor control circuits
• Automation signal input devices

Key Features

• Compact 22.5 mm modular design
• Snap-on installation on 800F operators
• High electrical durability (industrial grade switching)
• Suitable for AC and DC control circuits
• Standard industrial NO contact configuration

Precautions

• Must be matched with compatible 800F operator head
• Do not use alone without mounting actuator
• Do not exceed rated switching load
• For safety circuits, NC contacts are usually preferred (depending design)
• Ensure correct wiring to avoid mis-triggering
