It snaps onto the contactor via the standard mounting interface — no tools needed for installation, but verify the latch is fully engaged before energizing. The screw-type terminals on this block accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) conductors with core end processing, or 2x (20 to 16) and 2x (18 to 14) AWG for auxiliary wiring. That matters when the auxiliary contact feeds a PLC input or a safety relay: you want it to close every time, not just most times.
Snap-on mounting onto the contactor. The block measures 36.5 mm wide, 37.5 mm high, and 41.5 mm deep. IP20 on the front protects against finger contact.
Contact ratings across voltages
The maximum continuous current is 10 A, but the switching capacity varies significantly with voltage. At 24 V DC the block is rated for 6 A, dropping to 0.3 A at 220 V DC. For AC loads at 230 V it handles 6 A, and at 400 V it is rated for 3 A. At AC-15 duty (inductive loads typical for contactor coils and solenoid valves) at 690 V it is rated for 1 A. Always verify the switching current at your specific operating voltage — the 10 A maximum is only achievable at low voltages.
