Product Description
The 30.5 mm pushbutton line features
a zinc die cast construction with
chrome-plated housing and mounting
nut. The same durable construction is
also available with the corrosive resistant E34 line of pushbuttons. See E34
section on Pages 47-166 – 47-189.
Reliability Nibs
Eaton’s Cutler-Hammer® contact
blocks feature enclosed silver contacts
with pointed “reliability nibs” for reliable performance from logic level up
to 600V. To ensure reliable switching,
nibs bite through oxide which can form
on silver contacts, eliminating the
need for expensive logic level blocks
for most applications.

Medium Duty
Heavy-Duty
Figure 47-90. Reliability Nibs
Reliability nibs improve performance
in dry circuit, corrosive, fine dust and
other contaminated atmospheres.
Under normal environmental conditions, the minimum operational voltage
is 5V and the minimum operational
current is 1 mA, AC/DC. For operation
under a wider range of environmental
conditions, logic level contact blocks
with inert palladium tipped contacts
are recommended.
Grounding Nibs
10250T line operators have “grounding
nibs” — four metal points on the operator casting designed to bite through
most paints and other coatings on
metal panels to enhance the ground
connection when the operator is
securely tightened.

Diaphragm Seal with Drainage Holes
Liquid Drainage
Eaton’s Cutler-Hammer pushbutton
operators offer front of panel drainage
via holes in the operator bushing. Hidden from view by the mounting nut,
these holes prevent buildup of liquid
inside the operator, which can prevent
operation in freezing environments.
The holes also provide a route for
escaping liquid in high pressure washdowns, effectively relieving pressure
from the internal diaphragm seal,
ensuring reliable sealing in applications even beyond NEMA 4.

Features
■ Heavy-duty zinc die cast construction
■ Enclosed silver contacts with
reliability nibs
■ Diaphragm seals with drainage
holes
■ Grounding nibs on the operator
casing
Benefits
■ Reliability nibs improve contact
reliability even under dry circuit and

Contact Operation
Slow make and break. All normally
closed contacts have positive opening
operation, i.e., normally closed contacts
are forced open in the event of contact
weld or spring breakage.
