Auxiliary contact Schneider Electric XENG1191, black, auxiliary contact module

The Schneider Electric XENG1191 auxiliary contact is a compact, front-mounting contact block designed to add switching and signaling functions to compatible Schneider Electric control and switching devices. Finished in black, this module provides a combination of one normally closed (NC) and two normally open (NO) spring-return contacts to expand monitoring, interlocking and status feedback capabilities in electrical panels and automation systems.

Advantages

This auxiliary contact module offers modular installation for quick front mounting without altering the host device. The spring return contact design ensures reliable mechanical reset after actuation, while the 1 NC + 2 NO contact configuration gives flexibility to implement both break and make circuits. The compact profile conserves panel space and integrates with standard Schneider Electric equipment for consistent mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Suitable for

• Adding status feedback to contactors and motor starters
• Implementing interlock circuits in control panels
• Providing additional signaling contacts for automation logic
• Use in control circuits where front-mount auxiliary contacts are required

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 1 normally closed (NC) + 2 normally open (NO)
• Actuation type: spring return
• Mounting: front mounting for modular control devices
• Color: black
• Intended use: auxiliary contact block for switching and signaling functions

How to use

Attach the auxiliary contact to the front of a compatible Schneider Electric switching device according to the device’s mounting provisions, ensuring mechanical engagement and correct contact alignment. Connect the contact wires to the control or signaling circuit following the host device wiring diagram and applicable electrical standards. Verify that the contact operates correctly by actuating the host device and observing the change in the auxiliary contact state; the spring return mechanism will reset contacts when the actuator is released.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the specific Schneider Electric host device before installation and follow local electrical codes. Use appropriate wire sizes and protective devices in control circuits, and perform functional testing after installation to ensure reliable monitoring and interlocking performance.
