EATON FAZ-XHIN11 Auxiliary Contact No/nc 2a

Eaton FAZ-XHIN11 auxiliary contact operates in conjunction with the primary contacts of a switch or a relay. It is commonly used in the manufacturing, construction and automation industries.

Working Mechanism:

• When the main contactor is energised, it creates a magnetic field.
• This magnetic field attracts the armature of the auxiliary contact.
• As the armature moves, it closes the normally open (NO) contact.
• Simultaneously, it opens the normally closed (NC) contact.
• When the main contactor is de-energised, the magnetic field collapses.
• As a result, the spring-loaded armature returns to its original position.
• This action opens the normally open (NO) contact and closes the normally closed (NC) contact again.

Features:

• Eaton FAZ-XHIN11 auxiliary contact has 1 NO / 1 NC configuration for both circuit interruption and circuit completion options in electrical control systems.
• It has operating temperatures ranging between -5 to 40 degrees C.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between early-make and late-break auxiliary contacts?

A. Early-make auxiliary contacts close before the main contacts make contact, providing feedback or signalling in advance of the main circuit closure. Late-break auxiliary contacts open after the main contacts have opened, indicating circuit status after the fact.

Q. Can this auxiliary contact be used for interlocking or sequencing operations?

A. Yes, users can use this auxiliary contact for interlocking or sequencing operations to ensure that certain events occur in a specific order or under certain conditions. It can be configured to initiate or inhibit the operation of other devices based on predefined logic.

Q. What is the difference between front-mount and side-mount auxiliary contacts?

A. Front-mount auxiliary contacts are mounted directly on the contactor or relay, typically on the front face or terminal cover. Side-mount auxiliary contacts are mounted on the side of the contactor or relay, providing flexibility in installation and wiring configurations.
