Eaton Cutler-hammer HT8ABR Momentary Push-button Switch

Product Description

The EATON CUTLER-HAMMER HT8ABR is a momentary push-button switch designed for industrial and commercial control panel applications. It features a red, round, extended straight operator and operates across a voltage range of 5 to 28 volts. The switch uses screw terminal connections and is non-illuminated. Built with anti-corrosive, oiltight, and watertight resistance properties, the HT8ABR is suited for demanding environments where moisture, oils, and contaminants are present. Licensed electricians and control panel technicians are the primary installers of this device.

The HT8ABR is appropriate for use in industrial control panels, machine tool stations, and similar applications requiring a momentary switching action. Its NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 ratings make it usable in both indoor and outdoor enclosures, including those requiring protection from rain, dust, and non-corrosive liquids. The extended round red operator provides clear visual identification at the panel face, which is useful in multi-switch layouts common in manufacturing and process control environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and verify absence of voltage before wiring or mounting. Screw terminals should be torqued per the terminal manufacturer's standard practice using an appropriate screwdriver. Verify the enclosure NEMA rating matches the installation environment before mounting.
