Product Overview
General Electric built the CR2940 line as its heavy-duty, oil-tight pushbutton family for industrial control stations. CR2940WA203B is a black-cap pushbutton in that line, a NOS operator for panel builders and maintenance techs keeping GE-equipped stations original. The contact block with this unit is a CR2940U201, molded with one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO) contact, and its plate reads MAX VOLTS 600.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contacts does the included block provide?
The CR2940U201 block is molded with one normally closed (NC) and one normally open (NO) contact, and its plate reads MAX VOLTS 600.
Is the pushbutton assembled?
No. The cap and trim pieces are bagged separately from the operator body and the contact block, so the button goes together at the panel.
Are mounting instructions included?
Not included.
Why buy this single pushbutton instead of a surplus lot of CR2940 parts?
The whole set is named and marked: the black-cap CR2940WA203B operator, its cap and trim pieces, and the CR2940U201 contact block. Match those numbers to your station, with no mixed box of caps and blocks to sort.
Oil-tight was the whole point of GE's CR2940 line: a button built for a gloved hand in a shop where the air carries coolant. Put this one in the station that has had tape over its empty hole, and the machine gets its button back.
