Eaton Cutler-hammer HT8AER Momentary Push-button Switch

Product Description

The EATON CUTLER-HAMMER HT8AER is a momentary push-button switch designed for industrial and commercial control panel applications. It features a red, round, extended mushroom-head operator and operates across a voltage range of 5 to 28 volts. The screw-terminal connection makes wiring straightforward during panel assembly or field replacement. Built with anti-corrosive, oiltight, and watertight resistance properties, this switch is rated for demanding environments where moisture, dust, and contaminants are present. It carries UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No. 14 listings, confirming compliance with recognized industrial control equipment standards.

This switch is suited for use in industrial machinery, automated equipment, and control enclosures requiring a momentary contact operator. The extended mushroom-head profile provides a large actuation surface, commonly used for emergency stop, cycle start, or operator interface functions on production equipment. NEMA ratings of 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor enclosures, including washdown and corrosive-environment installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified control panel technician. De-energize and lock out the panel circuit before removing or installing any switch operator. Verify that the operating voltage of the connected control circuit falls within the 5 to 28 volt rated range before wiring. Screw-terminal connections should be tightened to the enclosure manufacturer's recommended torque using an appropriate insulated screwdriver.
