Allen-Bradley 802F-S62P2 Key Interlock Switch

Allen-Bradley 802F-S62P2 is a Series A key interlock safety switch designed for machine guarding, providing a keyed interlock mechanism that prevents access to hazardous areas while the equipment is in a guarded or powered-down state. It carries a 10 A, 500 VAC rating, enabling reliable control of guarding circuits in demanding industrial environments, and is often cataloged as 802FS62P2. Weighing about 0.14 kg, this switch is a compact, panel-mount solution for protecting operators during maintenance and ensuring that safety interlocks enforce safe-machine shutdown. This specific model has been discontinued by the manufacturer, so current alternatives may be sought within Allen-Bradley’s safety interlock lineup or through compatible stock. Typical applications include guarding doors on presses, conveyors, and other automated equipment where secure key interlock operation is required to prevent opening a guard while the machine is unsafe, and to release only after proper interlock conditions are met.
