  • Terminal type: Screw terminals
  • Protection class: IP20
  • Package dimensions: 100 × 100 × 18 mm
  • Package gross weight: 0.06 kg
  • Compatibility: EK contactors
  • Country of origin: India
• Key Features: Instantaneous 1 NO + 1 NC contacts, screw terminal connection, IP20 protection, 690 V insulation rating, high short-time withstand current (100 A for 0.1 s), left-side mounting on ABB EK contactors.
• Functional Characteristics: Provides auxiliary signaling contacts that mirror the state of the main contactor — NO contact closes when the contactor is energized, NC contact opens simultaneously.
• Application Scenarios: Industrial control panels, motor control circuits, automation systems where auxiliary feedback (ON/OFF status) of EK contactors is required.
• Structural Characteristics: Compact 2-pole block (100×100×18 mm, 0.06 kg) with screw terminals, designed to clip onto the left side of ABB EK series contactors.
• Working Principle: Mechanically linked to the contactor’s moving armature — when the contactor coil is energized and the main contacts close, the NO auxiliary contact closes and the NC auxiliary contact opens instantaneously, providing real-time status feedback to the control circuit.
• Installation Requirements: Mount on the left side of a compatible ABB EK contactor; tighten screw terminals to the specified torque; ensure the operating environment complies with IP20 (no direct water or heavy dust).
• Usage Notes: Do not exceed the rated operational currents (6 A AC-15 @ 220/240 V, etc.); verify contactor compatibility (EK series) before installation; observe 690 V insulation rating limit; use appropriate wire gauge for screw terminals.
