Choosing operator controls for an industrial panel usually comes down to two very different jobs. One control is built to start and stop a machine; the other is built to sit in an operator station and send a command. The 3 Phase on off Push Button Switch and the Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 push button occupy those two roles, and their listed prices make the decision even more pointed.
Quick Verdict
At USD 14.29, the 3 Phase on off Push Button Switch is the lower-priced way to get a 30A 3-phase motor-starter switch for 220V/240V service. At USD 30.00, the 800T-A2D1 Allen Bradley flush head black push button gives you a specific 800T series operator with a black button. Pick the first when motor control is the task; pick the second when your panel needs that flush-head operator rather than a starter switch.
Price Comparison
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|

Where Each Product Wins
- 3 Phase on off Push Button Switch wins when the requirement is a three-phase on/off control for a 220V/240V industrial motor starter. It has the lower listed price, and the push-button actuator, screw connectors, brass contacts, and normally open contact type round out its electrical profile.
- 800T-A2D1 Allen Bradley Flush Head Black Push Button wins when the requirement is an operator with a clear model number. It lists applications that include control equipment panels, commercial electrical wiring, fan control, and industrial use, and it identifies the button color as black.
Product Notes
3 Phase on off Push Button Switch, 220V/240V 30A Industrial Motor Starter Switch
This is the control to reach for when your wiring job is about starting and stopping a three-phase motor. The title spells out the core job: 3-phase on/off operation at 220V/240V for motor-starter duty. A push-button actuator, screw connectors, brass contacts, and a normally open contact type round out the electrical picture, so you have a clear sense of what kind of contact package is in play. Its role as a motor-starter switch is the main reason to choose it, especially since it carries the lower listed price of the pair. The trade-off is that this is not a general-purpose operator button. If your panel layout calls for an operator like the Allen Bradley, that product has the mounting and appearance details you are after.
800T-A2D1 "T" Allen Bradley Flush Head Black Push Button NIB NOS
This is the operator button you pick when the model number matters. The title identifies it as an 800T-A2D1 Allen Bradley flush head black push button, with the black button color and flush mounting style in the title. The listed applications go beyond basic panel use: control equipment panels, commercial electrical wiring, fan control, and industrial use. At the higher listed price of the two, this is the operator to choose when a specific 800T series model is what your panel calls for. The limitation is the price relative to the other control, and this is an operator push button rather than a three-phase starter switch; the motor-starter rating belongs to the other product in this comparison.
Final Choice by Use Case
- For a three-phase motor-starter wiring job, choose the 3 Phase on off Push Button Switch.
- For an operator station that needs an Allen Bradley 800T series push button, choose the 800T-A2D1 Allen Bradley Flush Head Black Push Button.
