Eaton 20DILE Auxiliary Contact Block, 2-Pole, 1NO+1NC, Side Mount, Screw Terminals, IP20, Black/White 010208

The Eaton 20DILE auxiliary contact block expands the functionality of DIL M contactors with reliable signaling and control capabilities. This 2-pole unit provides one normally open and one normally closed contact, enabling versatile circuit integration for status indication, interlocking, and auxiliary control tasks. Its side mounting design allows tool-free snap-on installation directly onto compatible contactors, saving space and simplifying wiring. Engineered for industrial environments, it handles operational voltages up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC, with a mechanical life of 10 million operations. The compact housing (45 x 86 x 58 mm) features screw terminals for secure connections and an IP20 protection rating against solid objects. Operating reliably from -25 °C to 50 °C, this contact block meets IEC/EN 60947-5-1 standards, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications.

Advantages

Side mounting allows quick, secure attachment without additional tools, reducing installation time. The combination of NO and NC contacts in a single block offers flexible control options. High mechanical and electrical endurance (10 million and 1 million operations, respectively) minimizes maintenance and replacement costs. Screw terminals provide robust, vibration-resistant connections suitable for industrial settings. The wide operating temperature range and compliance with international standards guarantee reliability across diverse environments.
