Replacement 30mm push-only switches for industrial trash compactor control panels — momentary and maintained, flush and extended, illuminated and non-illuminated. The standard operator-action buttons that start, stop, and confirm compactor operations.
Push-only switches are the workhorses of any compactor control panel. Cycle-start buttons are momentary (energize only while pressed); cycle-stop buttons can be either momentary or maintained (push to lock). Illuminated versions provide status feedback — green typically means ready, red means fault, yellow means waiting.
PRT stocks 30mm push-only switches in all standard color and function combinations. Standard configurations ship same business day.
Match by function (start, stop, jog, reset), button style (flush, extended, mushroom), color (red, green, yellow, blue, white, black), and illumination (LED-lit or non-illuminated). LED-illuminated buttons require voltage specification (24V DC or 120V AC are most common).
Standard color conventions are useful but not binding — many compactor OEMs deviate from defaults. Match the original color when replacing existing buttons to avoid operator confusion.
Flush buttons sit nearly level with the panel — they require deliberate pressing and resist accidental activation. Extended buttons rise above the panel — easier to press with gloves but more prone to accidental activation.
Yes. PRT stocks LED-illuminated 30mm push buttons at both 24V DC and 120V AC in the standard color range.
Yes. The 30mm panel cutout is industry-standard. PRT buttons fit any 30mm panel — Allen Bradley 800T, Schneider XB2, Siemens 3SB, Eaton M22, regardless of original brand.
Yes — mushroom-style red buttons can be used for normal cycle-stop functions. Emergency stops have specific safety-rated contact designs (positive-opening). For e-stops specifically, see our /compactor-buttons-switches/ page.
