It signals the O, I, and test positions of the disconnect, giving the control system a positive indication of the switch state. The early-break contact operation means the NC contact opens before the main disconnect contacts separate, ensuring the control circuit loses power ahead of the load circuit — a standard safety sequencing arrangement for motor disconnects. This is the thermal limit, not the switching limit. The rated operational current varies by duty and voltage: 3 A at 240 V AC-15, 6 A at 120 V AC-15, and 1.5 A at 480 V AC-15 for AC control circuits. For DC control, it is rated 2.8 A at 24 V DC-13, 0.55 A at 125 V DC-13, and 0.27 A at 250 V DC-13. These AC-15 and DC-13 ratings govern the contact's ability to switch electromagnetic loads like contactor coils and relays — the most common application for an auxiliary contact on a disconnect. The switch rated current range listed (32 A through 1250 A) reflects the family of GS1 disconnects this contact block can be paired with, not the contact's own rating. The GS2AM101 is specifically for the 32 A frame size. ## Durability and lifecycle Electrical durability is rated at 1,000,000 cycles under AC-15 duty, and mechanical durability at 5,000,000 cycles. The 1 NC contact is a single-pole configuration. For applications requiring both NO and NC signals, a second auxiliary contact block would be needed on the same disconnect.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric GS2AM101 TeSys Auxiliary Contact, 1 NC Ea","metaDescription":"GS2AM101 auxiliary contact block for TeSys GS1 disconnects. 1 NC early-break contact rated 16 A thermal, 3 A at 240 V AC-15.
