Harrington NER2 Pendant vs Allen Bradley 800T Push Button: Which Operator Control Should You Choose?

A $395 pendant station with E-Stop and cable versus a $30 flush push button for panels. Choose the Harrington NER2 for hoist-style remote control and the Allen Bradley 800T for panel-mounted switching.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Quick Verdict

When you are choosing signaling indicators and operator controls, the decision comes down to how much of the control station you need. The Harrington NER2 4 button 2 speed pendant with a 13 foot cable and EStop is a complete remote pendant. The Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 flush head black push button is a single panel button. If you need a ready-to-use pendant, go with the Harrington NER2. If you need a simple push button for a panel, the Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 is the more targeted and lower-priced option.

Where Each Wins

The Harrington NER2 wins when the job calls for a complete pendant assembly for hoist-style use. It brings the buttons and speed selection together in one unit. The Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 wins when you need a single push button to wire into a panel. The $365 gap between the two prices makes the Allen Bradley the more sensible buy for that narrower job.

Product Notes

Harrington NER2 4 button 2 speed pendant

Harrington NER2 4 button 2 speed pendant 13 foot cable with EStop & plug

The Harrington NER2 gives you a ready-made pendant station instead of a pile of parts. The four-button layout with two-speed operation covers hoist-style controls, and the 13-foot cable means you can hang the unit where you need it. The red and black buttons are easy to spot, and the emergency stop is part of the package. At USD 395.00, this is the higher-cost option, but you are paying for a complete assembly that includes the E-Stop and the cable. The trade-off is that it is a cable-mounted pendant, not a flush panel switch; if your project only calls for a single button in a control panel, this is more than you need.

800T-A2D1 "T" ALLEN BRADLEY FLUSH HEAD BLACK PUSH BUTTON NIB NOS

The Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1 is a straightforward flush head push button for panel work. At USD 30.00 and priced per switch, it is a low-cost building block for control panels, fan controls, and other industrial wiring jobs. Its flush head is the key difference from a pendant-style unit. The limitation is that this is a single switch, not a pendant station. If you are building a multi-button hoist remote or need a complete control assembly, the Allen Bradley alone will not cover that; the Harrington NER2 is the pendant-style alternative.

Final Choice by Use Case

  • For hoist-style remote control from a pendant: choose the Harrington NER2 4 button 2 speed pendant.
  • For a panel-mounted push button: choose the Allen Bradley 800T-A2D1.
