Eaton Auxiliary Contacts For Use With The DILEM & DILEEM System

Eaton's range of DILEM & DILEEM contactors and auxiliary contacts are predominantly used in larger-scale operations, they are designed to provide a long mechanical and electrical life which in turn accomplishes reliability. Users will commonly find these contactors integrated within industrial buildings and factory installations, enabling automated processes of motors and resistive loads.

Eaton's auxiliary contacts offer several contact combinations and are front, side or top mountable depending on their design, no tools needed! Trip indication presents through a red short-circuit indicator on some components, allowing users to view a trip easily, other information is provided to the upstream programmable controller. Information provided includes "on/off" on the protective switch, "tripped" message for overload or short circuits, and "on/off" for the contact module.

Features and benefits:

Applications:

This range of 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.
