It provides 3 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) contact configuration per EN 50005, wired via screw-type terminals. The block snaps onto the contactor without tools, adding auxiliary contacts for status feedback, interlocking, or control logic extension.
Rated at 10 A maximum, with derated currents per voltage level: 6 A at 24 V, 6 A at 125 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V. The AC-15 rating at 690 V is 1 A, which governs switching of electromagnetic loads like contactor coils in higher-voltage control circuits. The insulation voltage is 690 V at pollution degree 3, and surge voltage resistance is 6 kV — adequate for industrial control panels with standard overvoltage category III. Mechanical service life is 10 million switching cycles typical.
Physical integration and environment
Dimensions: 36.5 mm wide, 37.5 mm high, 41.5 mm deep. Snap-on mounting to the contactor — no DIN rail required for the block itself, though the contactor typically mounts on a 35 mm rail. IP20 protection on the front, suitable for enclosed panel use. Screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) with core-end processing, or 2x (20 to 16) and 2x (18 to 14) AWG.
