Eaton Auxiliary Contact Block 1NO+1NC 11DILEM 2-Pole Positively Driven Contacts 010080

Industrial control panels often require reliable status feedback from contactors to ensure safe operation and interlocking. The Eaton 010080 auxiliary contact block is engineered for exactly that: it mounts directly onto the front of Eaton DILEM mini contactors, providing one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact. Thanks to its positively driven (mechanically linked) contacts, it delivers dependable signal integrity for control circuits, even in demanding environments. This makes it a trusted choice for machine builders and panel builders who need to monitor contactor states in compliance with safety standards.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 1 NO + 1 NC (2-pole)
• Positively driven contacts (mechanically linked) per IEC/EN 60947-5-1
• Rated operational current: 4 A at AC-15 230 V, 3 A at AC-15 400 V, 2.5 A at DC-13 24 V
• Rated insulation voltage: 690 V AC; impulse withstand voltage: 6 kV
• Degree of protection: IP20 (terminals)
• Terminal type: screw terminals, wire cross-section 0.75–2.5 mm² (solid or stranded)
• Ambient operating temperature: -25 °C to +60 °C; storage: -40 °C to +80 °C
• Compatible with Eaton DILEM mini contactors (front mounting)

Why choose it

This auxiliary contact block stands out for its positively driven contacts, which guarantee that the NO and NC contacts cannot be closed simultaneously. This feature is essential for safety-related control circuits, providing clear and reliable status indication. Its compact design integrates seamlessly with DILEM contactors without additional wiring complexity. Built to international standards, it ensures long-term performance and compliance in industrial applications.

Ideal use cases

• Monitoring contactor status in motor control circuits
• Interlocking and signalling in safety circuits
• Expanding control functionality in compact control panels
• Retrofitting existing DILEM contactors with additional auxiliary contacts

Good to know

The Eaton 010080 is part of the DILEM-XHI series and is designed for front mounting, allowing quick installation without tools. It is rated for use in ambient temperatures up to 60 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.
