Eaton Auxiliary Contacts For Use With The DILA System

This range of auxiliary contacts from Eaton is designed to expand the DILA contactor relay series up to 8 auxiliary contacts with front-mountable auxiliary switches. The relays are ideally suited for use as coupling or interface contactors, especially if used to control large contactors directly from a PLC.

The DILA auxiliary contactors are the ideal companion for the DILM motor contactors, their auxiliary contacts are specifically designed for the contactor relays ensuring safe detection. If the associated system components are used, they can easily handle a wide range of control tasks.

Eaton's devices are compliant with the ErP directive meaning its energy-efficient options provide the potential for very significant savings in operational costs and will help you use energy in a more reliable, efficient, safe and sustainable way.

Features and benefits:

• Front mount
• Can be expanded to up to eight contacts
• All contacts are interlocked and opposing

For use with DILA contactor relays or DILM7 to DILM32 motor contactors

Applications:

A wide range of control tasks can be flexibly implemented with DILA contactor relays and the respective system components. Auxiliary contacts can be used across a multitude of applications, users will commonly find these contact blocks being used within industrial applications such as electric motor starters, control systems, control, power circuits and electrical signalling equipment.

How do Auxiliary Contacts work?

An Auxiliary Contact block, or aux contact, is an electromechanical device that is mounted typically to contactors. They are physically connected to the contactor, with simultaneous activation and deactivation applying to both the contact block and the contactor at the same time.

Auxiliary contacts can be installed onto contactors either by front mounting, or side mounting. This is usually clear in the shape and size of the product, but please check the compatibility of your devices. Aux Contacts are really useful devices to aid in keeping an eye on the contactor.
