Allen-Bradley 800MR-16HX2BS 2 Position Selector Switch

Allen-Bradley 800MR-16HX2BS is a 2-position selector switch intended for panel mounting in industrial control applications, designed to operate on 120 V AC at 50/60 Hz. This variant belongs to the 800MR family, with the 16HX2 designation signaling a two-position control device used to select between two machine settings or control paths. Rockwell Automation lists this model as discontinued, with a discontinuation date of June 9, 2023, and notes that customers should migrate to replacement products as part of the migration process. Despite discontinuation, the 800MR-16HX2BS part remains cataloged by authorized distributors for legacy installations and spare-part references, preserving compatibility with existing Allen-Bradley control systems. When evaluating a replacement, buyers typically look for a like-for-like 16 mm, two-position switch within the 800MR/800M family to maintain panel cutout compatibility and electrical characteristics such as voltage rating and contact arrangement.
