SWAN Electric CO-AUX-F8-11 Side Mount Auxiliary Contact (1NO+1NC)

• The SWAN Electric CO-AUX-F8-11 is a side-mounting auxiliary contact block designed to expand the functionality of SWAN Electric's CJX2 and compatible JZC4 series contactors.
• This compact accessory provides an additional set of 1 Normally Open (NO) and 1 Normally Closed (NC) contacts, crucial for implementing enhanced control logic, interlocking schemes, or status signaling. Its side-mount design makes it an ideal solution when top-mount space on the contactor is limited or already utilized, offering flexibility in panel layout and control system design.

Features

• Contact Configuration: Provides one Normally Open (1NO) and one Normally Closed (1NC) auxiliary contact.
• Side Mounting Design: Easily attaches to the side of compatible SWAN CJX2 and JZC4 series contactors.
• Space Efficient: Ideal for applications where top-mounting space is restricted or additional contacts are needed beyond top-mounted units.
• Direct Compatibility: Engineered as a direct-fit accessory for specified SWAN contactor series.
• Enhanced Control Capability: Allows for the creation of more intricate control circuits, electrical interlocks, and feedback signals.
• Reliable Operation: Built to industrial standards for dependable performance in control applications.

Benefits

• Increased Control Flexibility: Adds essential NO and NC contacts for complex control logic without requiring additional standalone relays.
• Optimal Panel Space Utilization: Side mounting allows for contact expansion even when the top of the contactor is occupied by other accessories (like timers or other auxiliary blocks) or in height-restricted enclosures.
• Simplified Interlocking: Facilitates the easy implementation of electrical interlocks between contactors, enhancing safety and operational integrity.
• Clear Status Indication: The additional contacts can be used to signal the contactor's status (energized/de-energized) to PLCs, indicator lights, or other control devices.
• Easy Integration: Designed for straightforward attachment to compatible contactors, reducing installation time and effort.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

Note: Detailed electrical specifications like Ui, Ith, Life, etc., are based on typical values for SWAN auxiliary contacts (e.g., F4 series). Always refer to the specific datasheet for CO-AUX-F8-11 if precise, critical values are needed.

Ideal Use

• Adding control or signaling contacts to SWAN CJX2/JZC4 contactors where top-mount space is unavailable or insufficient.
• Implementing electrical interlocks in motor control circuits (e.g., reversing starters, sequence control).
• Providing feedback signals to PLCs or other automation systems about the contactor's operational state.
• Applications requiring a precise 1NO + 1NC contact addition for specific control logic.
• Control panel construction where compact component arrangement is necessary.

Tips

• Verify Compatibility: Ensure the CO-AUX-F8-11 is intended for use with your specific SWAN contactor model (CJX2 or compatible JZC4).
• Secure Mounting: Confirm that the auxiliary block is firmly and correctly attached to the side of the contactor to ensure reliable mechanical operation and electrical connection.
• Panel Layout Considerations: Account for the slight increase in the overall width of the contactor assembly when using side-mounted accessories. Ensure adequate clearance.
• Wiring Practices: Use appropriate wire gauges for your control circuit currents and ensure all terminal connections are secure.
• Application Check: Confirm that the 1NO and 1NC contacts provided by this unit meet the exact requirements of your control circuit logic.
