George Risk Industries Inc. PBF-2020-G Recessed Contact

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. PBF-2020-G is a recessed plunger-style contact switch used in security, access control, and door or window monitoring applications. The unit installs flush into a drilled hole in a door frame, cabinet, or enclosure, where the spring-loaded plunger actuates to signal an open or closed circuit state. Electricians and low-voltage security technicians are the primary installers. The PBF-2020-G is sold individually and is suited for both new installation and direct replacement work where a recessed contact is specified.

Recessed plunger contacts like the PBF-2020-G are commonly found in residential and light commercial security systems, alarm panels, and access control installations. The flush-mount design conceals the contact within the door frame or surface, making it less visible than surface-mounted alternatives. This type of contact is typically specified by alarm installers and low-voltage electricians when a clean, tamper-resistant appearance is required or when surface-mount hardware is not practical for the application.

Key Features

• Recessed plunger design for flush, concealed installation
• Spring-loaded actuator signals circuit state on door or panel open or close
• Sold as individual unit for single-point replacement or new install
• Compatible with standard recessed contact wiring practices used in security and access control systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for recessed plunger contact applications in residential and light commercial security and access control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down or disarm the alarm or access control panel before disconnecting or replacing any contact. Drill the mounting hole to the diameter specified for this contact style to ensure proper fit and plunger travel. Avoid over-crimping lead wires, which can damage the internal switch mechanism.
