SWAN Electric F4 Series Top Mount Auxiliary Contacts (CO-AUX-F4-11, F4-22, F4-13).

• The SWAN Electric F4 Series Top Mount Auxiliary Contacts are essential accessories designed to expand the control and signaling capabilities of SWAN JZC4 and CJX2 series contactors and contactor relays.
• These auxiliary blocks are easily mounted on the top of the main contactor, providing additional normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts.
• Featuring a reliable sliding friction contact mechanism, the F4 series ensures dependable circuit connections for various control logic, interlocking, and status indication functions in industrial applications.

Features

• Multiple Configurations: Available in three common contact arrangements:
  • CO-AUX-F4-11: 1 Normally Open (NO) + 1 Normally Closed (NC)
  • CO-AUX-F4-22: 2 Normally Open (NO) + 2 Normally Closed (NC)
  • CO-AUX-F4-13: 1 Normally Open (NO) + 3 Normally Closed (NC)
• Top Mounting Design: Easily installs on the top surface of compatible JZC4 and CJX2 series contactors.
• Sliding Friction Contact: Employs a sliding friction mechanism for the contacts, ensuring reliable electrical connection and enhanced durability.
• Direct Compatibility: Specifically designed as a supporting accessory for SWAN JZC4 and CJX2 series products.
• Enhanced Control: Allows for the creation of more complex control circuits, including interlocking, signalization, and feedback loops.
• Robust Electrical Characteristics: Rated for industrial voltage and current applications.

Benefits

• Increased Functionality: Expands the number of available contacts on your primary contactor, enabling more sophisticated control schemes without needing larger or additional primary devices.
• Reliable Performance: The sliding friction contact design promotes consistent and dependable circuit continuity, crucial for critical control operations.
• Easy Integration: Simple top-mount installation saves panel space and reduces wiring complexity when adding to existing JZC4 or CJX2 contactors.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for various functions such as creating electrical interlocks between contactors, providing status feedback to PLCs or indicator lights, or enabling different stages in a control sequence.
• Cost-Effective Expansion: Offers an economical way to add control points compared to using multiple individual relays or contactors.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

Ideal Use

• Expanding the contact capacity of SWAN JZC4 and CJX2 contactors in control panels.
• Implementing electrical interlocks between multiple contactors (e.g., for reversing starters or star-delta starters when combined with other components).
• Providing status indication signals to PLCs, HMIs, or pilot lights.
• Use in control circuits requiring additional break or make contacts for logic sequences.
• Applications where reliable auxiliary contacts are needed for automation and machine control.

Tips

• Select Correct Configuration: Choose the F4 model (F4-11, F4-22, or F4-13) that provides the exact number of NO and NC contacts required for your control circuit logic.
• Ensure Compatibility: Verify that the F4 auxiliary contact is being used with a compatible SWAN JZC4 or CJX2 series contactor.
• Proper Installation: Ensure the auxiliary block is securely seated and latched onto the top of the contactor for proper mechanical operation and electrical connection.
• Wiring: Use appropriate wire gauges for the control circuit currents (up to 10A Ith) and ensure secure terminal connections.
• Environmental Conditions: Install in environments suitable for the main contactor, considering factors like temperature, humidity, and potential contaminants.
• Load Matching: While Ith is 10A, always consider the specific utilization category (e.g., AC-15, DC-13) and voltage for your application to ensure the contacts are suitable for the switched load.
