Allen-Bradley 800T-16HR17KB6AX Selector Switch

The Allen-Bradley 800T-16HR17KB6AX is a 30 mm selector switch with blue illumination and two positions, designed for panel mounting in industrial control circuits where a maintained selection is required. It uses screw-terminal connections for 14–18 AWG conductors and provides a maintained (non-momentary) operating action suitable for process or machine-control applications. Illumination is powered from 120 V AC at 50/60 Hz with an incandescent lamp and a transformer-based illumination module, enabling visibility in low-light environments. The device is rated for heavy-duty environments, with enclosure compatibility for NEMA types 1, 4, 12, and 13, and a mechanical design life of up to 200,000 cycles. The mounting hole diameter is 30.5 mm, and the illumination module termination torque is specified at 6–8 in-lb (0.7–0.9 N·m) with a wire range of 14–18 AWG. The operator cap is plastic and the housing is metal, with an KB6 cam code guiding the internal switch actuation. It also lists shock tolerance of 25 G (contact fragility) and 100 G (no damage), along with a 10 G maximum vibration rating, supporting reliable operation in demanding industrial settings.
