Eaton E30KB117 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton E30 square multifunction pushbutton actuator fit a standard 30.5 mm panel cutout?
The E30 actuator is a 30.5 mm square multifunction, watertight/oiltight button made to mount into Eaton E30 square multifunction pushbutton stations. It is the button/actuator piece only, so it goes onto an E30 square multifunction pushbutton operator rather than directly into a bare panel hole.
2) Is the Eaton E30 button a complete pushbutton, or do I still need the contact block and operator?
What you get here is the actuator, the black button cap that the operator presses. Eaton lists it under product category Button, used with square multifunction pushbuttons. The operator body and contact blocks are separate items, so order those alongside if you are building a station from scratch rather than replacing a worn or mislabeled button.
3) What do the Type B, Type C, and Type E actuator styles on the Eaton E30 button mean for ordering?
Actuator style is a separate choice from the legend. Extended styles are offered as Type B (E30KB117, MAN), Type C (E30KC107 FORWARD and E30KC117 MAN), and Type E (E30KE107, FORWARD), while the RUN buttons E30KB176 and E30KC176 are standard style. Match the style to the operator already in your station so the button seats and travels the way the rest of the panel does.
4) I need to replace a faded legend button on an existing Eaton E30 station. Can I swap just the button?
That is exactly what this part is for. The button/actuator is sold on its own for E30 square multifunction pushbuttons, so a worn or unreadable MAN, RUN, or FORWARD cap can be changed without pulling the operator or rewiring the contact blocks. Confirm the existing actuator style (Type B, Type C, Type E, or standard) so the replacement matches.
5) What legends can I get on the Eaton E30 square actuator?
Three legends are engraved across the range: MAN, RUN, and FORWARD. MAN comes on E30KB117 and E30KC117, RUN on E30KB176 and E30KC176, and FORWARD on E30KC107 and E30KE107. Pick the legend that matches the function wired behind it so the panel face reads correctly to the operator.
6) Can this Eaton button be used on a machine that gets washed down or sprayed with cutting oil?
Yes. The E30 square multifunction actuator is built to a watertight/oiltight design, which is why it shows up on machine control stations, motor start/stop panels, and process equipment where moisture, dust, and oil are part of the environment.
7) Which Eaton part number do I order for a FORWARD button on a reversing motor starter station?
FORWARD is engraved on two part numbers: E30KC107 with a Type C extended actuator and E30KE107 with a Type E extended actuator. Both are black. The choice between them comes down to which actuator style the rest of your reversing station uses.
8) What color is the Eaton E30 engraved square actuator, and can I get other colors for start and stop?
These are black actuators, both cap color and overall product color. Black is the usual choice for MAN, RUN, and FORWARD functions; if you need green for start or red for stop on the same station, that is a different actuator color within the E30 square multifunction line.
