Eaton E30KT3 Push Button with Guard 30.5mm

Product Description

The EATON E30KT3 is a 30.5mm push button operator with an integrated guard designed to prevent accidental actuation. This type of operator mounts into a control panel cutout and functions as a maintained or momentary switching element within low-voltage control circuits. It is well suited for industrial control panels, motor control circuits, and machine operator stations. Electricians and control panel builders install this type of component during panel assembly or field retrofit work. The guard shroud around the button adds a physical barrier that reduces the chance of unintended activation in high-traffic or vibration-prone environments.

The E30KT3 is appropriate for use in industrial and commercial electrical control applications where operator safety and reliable manual input are priorities. Its 30.5mm mounting diameter is a widely used standard in control panel hardware, making it compatible with standard 30.5mm panel cutouts found in operator stations, junction boxes, and enclosures. It is typically installed by licensed electricians or automation technicians working on machine control, conveyor systems, HVAC unit controls, or similar equipment requiring manual operator input.

Key Features

• Integrated guard shroud reduces risk of accidental button depression
• 30.5mm mounting diameter fits standard panel cutouts
• Compact form factor suitable for dense panel layouts
• Lightweight construction at 0.030 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install push button operator for standard 30.5mm control panel cutouts in industrial and commercial electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the control panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any wiring or components. The operator body inserts from the front of the panel cutout and is secured with a rear-mount nut or clip. Ensure the guard and button assembly are fully seated before restoring power.
