Auxiliary contacts, also known as auxiliary contactors, are electromechanical devices used in conjunction with primary switching equipment such as contactors, circuit breakers, switches, and relays. These secondary switching devices are mechanically linked to the main switching equipment and change state simultaneously. The add-on accessories are available in a range of contact configurations and mounting styles to suit a wide range of industrial control applications.

RS Philippines offers an extensive range of high-quality auxiliary contact blocks from industry-leading brands, including Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB, Lovato, Eaton, and, of course, RS PRO.

## **How Do Auxiliary Contacts Work?**

Auxiliary contacts are mechanically linked to the main switching contacts of a primary device (contactor, circuit breaker, etc.) so that they change state in direct correlation with the main contacts. This mechanical linkage ensures that the auxiliary contacts accurately reflect the state of the main contacts. They pass data about the main circuit's status to a logic controller (PLC, relay, etc.), which then uses this information to control other linked devices. Auxiliary contacts can also be used as standalone hardware control units in simpler circuits.

These auxiliary contacts come in various mounting styles, including front-mounted and DIN rail-mounted options, offering flexibility for different installation needs. Additionally, they are available with different terminal types, such as screw terminals, screw clamp terminals, and cage clamp terminals, ensuring compatibility with various electrical setups.

## **Benefits of Using Auxiliary Contacts**

Auxiliary contacts offer a wide range of advantages, including:

### **Enhances Control Circuits**

Auxiliary contactors provide additional switching options that enhance automation and circuit control. By working alongside main contacts, they enable advanced control functionalities in motor starters, relay systems, and industrial control panels. This ensures smoother operation, improved efficiency, and greater safety in electrical systems.

### **Versatile Applications**

From industrial automation to safety interlocks, auxiliary contacts serve multiple purposes. They are widely used for motor control, signaling, and status indication in electrical panels. Their ability to integrate seamlessly into various electrical setups makes them invaluable across industries such as manufacturing, power distribution, and building automation.

### **Available in Various Configurations**

Users can choose from normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C), or changeover (CO) auxiliary contacts, depending on their specific application requirements. These options provide flexibility in designing efficient electrical control systems.

### **Durable & Reliable**

Designed for industrial-grade performance, auxiliary contacts are built to withstand demanding conditions, including high voltages, mechanical wear, and environmental factors. Their robust construction ensures long-term reliability, reducing maintenance costs and minimizing system downtime.

## **Types of Auxiliary Contact Blocks**

Auxiliary contact blocks are available in different configurations to suit various control and safety needs.

### **Normally Closed (N/C) Auxiliary Contacts**

These contacts remain closed when inactive and open when the circuit is engaged. They are commonly used as safety interlocks to prevent unintended machine operation.

### **Normally Open (N/O) Auxiliary Contacts**

These contacts remain open until activated, at which point they complete the circuit. They are frequently used for status indication and additional control functions in automation.

### **Changeover (CO) Contacts**

These contacts have three terminals: a common terminal, a normally closed terminal, and a normally open terminal. When the main device actuates, the common terminal switches from the NC terminal to the NO terminal.

## **Applications of Auxiliary Contacts**

Common applications for auxiliary contactors in the Philippines include the following:

### **Motor Control Systems**

In motor control applications, auxiliary contacts serve as essential feedback mechanisms, ensuring smooth and safe motor operation. They provide status signals in push-button control stations, allowing operators to monitor motor activity and detect faults such as overloads or circuit failures. By integrating auxiliary contacts into motor starters and control relays, businesses can enhance equipment protection and minimize downtime in industrial operations.

### **Industrial Automation**

Auxiliary contacts are essential components in relay logic systems and control panel circuits. These contacts enable precise communication between electrical components, ensuring that automated processes function correctly. Whether used in conveyor systems, robotic manufacturing, or production lines, auxiliary contacts help streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance workplace safety.

### **Power Distribution Systems**

In electrical distribution networks, auxiliary contacts facilitate safe switching of electrical loads, preventing circuit overloads and ensuring stable power flow. They are commonly used in [circuit breakers](https://ph.rs-online.com/web/c/fuses-circuit-breakers/circuit-breakers/), transfer switches, and load management systems to maintain electrical safety and efficiency.
