EUROPA 20A to 63A Rear Mount Auxiliary Switch 1N/C & 1N/O

The EUROPA Auxiliary Switch is a rear-mounted, volt-free contact accessory designed to provide reliable auxiliary control signals for door interlock systems and enclosed switch-disconnectors. It features a robust double-pole design with both normally closed (N/C) and normally open (N/O) contacts, offering versatile switching configurations for complex control circuits.

A key specification is its broad compatibility, rated for use with main devices from 20A to 63A. The volt-free contacts are rated for AC-15 duty at 6A 230V or 4A 415V, with a maximum rating of 16A at 500V AC (IEC/EN). This ensures dependable performance in a variety of industrial and commercial electrical applications where isolated signalling is required.

The switch incorporates a specific timing function: the 1 N/O contact operates on an Early Break / Late Make principle. This design is crucial for safety interlocking sequences, ensuring that certain circuits are broken before others are made during operation, thereby preventing hazardous conditions. The 1 N/C contact provides a standard switching action.

Constructed for secure and space-efficient installation behind the main device, it features screw terminals with a maximum capacity of 1.5mm² cabling. Its compact dimensions (60mm x 41mm x 18mm) allow it to fit neatly within enclosures without occupying unnecessary panel space.

This auxiliary switch is an essential component for enhancing the functionality and safety of electrical distribution equipment, providing the necessary control contacts for remote indication, interlocking, and automation sequences.
