Stop and think about the last time a limit switch failed in your setup. Whether you're working with relays, contactors, or other industrial switches, the replacement has to match the form you already have. Here, the Telemecanique XCKL102 Limit Switch Body is priced at $44.99, while the Allen-Bradley 802T-NP Oil Tight Limit Switch is priced at $140.00. With roughly $95 separating them, the first decision is whether the job calls for a switch body or an oil tight switch.
Quick verdict
The Telemecanique XCKL102 is the path to take when you want a new switch body in the XCKL102 line. The Allen-Bradley 802T-NP is the path to take when you need the 802T-NP model identity. Neither is a universal winner; the right pick depends on which part form your setup requires.
Side-by-side comparison
| Product | Listed Price | Condition | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telemecanique XCKL102 Limit Switch Body | $44.99 | New open box | Metal body with heavy-duty feature and IP66 protection |

Where each product wins
The Telemecanique XCKL102 wins when you're after the lower-priced switch body and want the Telemecanique part name. It also carries a United States origin detail, which is useful if sourcing location is part of your decision. The Allen-Bradley 802T-NP wins when the 802T-NP model name is the core requirement. It is new, its condition is listed as New rather than New open box, and it uses the exact 802T-NP model name from the product title. The higher price is the main factor to weigh against that.
Product notes
Telemecanique XCKL102 Limit Switch Body
This is a new open-box XCKL102 switch body from Telemecanique. The specs give you a clear baseline: blue metal construction, a heavy-duty feature, AC current type, and an IP66 protection rating. If you are repairing or building out a limit switch and you know the body style you need, this is the lower-priced side of the head-to-head. The United States origin is another detail to factor in. The limitation is the form itself: it is described as a switch body and industrial component, so it does not carry the oil tight designation used by its competitor. Match it carefully with the rest of your assembly and use the part name to guide you.
Allen-Bradley 802T-NP Oil Tight Limit Switch
The Allen-Bradley 802T-NP is a new oil tight limit switch with the model number right in the name. If your setup calls for 802T-NP, this product speaks directly to that need. It is new, with a condition listed as New, and it carries the oil tight designation that the XCKL102 does not use. The country of origin is China, which you may factor into your sourcing decision. The trade-off is the price position: it sits on the higher side of this head-to-head, so you will spend more than you would on the Telemecanique body before considering any other differences. Use that cost when deciding whether the oil tight function justifies the extra outlay.
Final choice by use case
If your priority is a switch body with a known part name and you want to stay on the lower-priced side, choose the Telemecanique XCKL102. If your priority is a new 802T-NP and you can accept the higher price, choose the Allen-Bradley 802T-NP. Let the required part form settle the decision first, then let price and condition refine it.
