Allen-Bradley 440K-C21098 Cadet 3 2NC 1NO M16 Tongue Interlock Safety Switch
The Allen-Bradley 440K-C21098 Safety Switch is a Guardmaster Cadet 3 tongue-operated safety interlock switch used for guard position monitoring on industrial machinery. It uses a flat actuator and provides two normally closed safety contacts together with one normally open auxiliary contact. Break-before-make contact operation supports controlled switching when the actuator is removed from the switch. The compact tongue interlock design is suitable for installation at the leading edge of sliding, hinged, or lift-off machine guards.
Product Features
The Allen-Bradley 440K-C21098 Safety Switch combines a tongue-operated interlock design with dual actuator entry slots and a rotatable head, supporting flexible mechanical alignment during machine construction or replacement work. The M16 conduit entry supports conventional field wiring, while the 2NC safety and 1NO auxiliary contact arrangement enables integration with compatible machine safety and control circuits. Its configuration is suitable for OEM machinery, factory equipment upgrades, guard-switch replacement, and routine maintenance applications where a Cadet 3 interlock is specified.
