ABB CA4-40E Bloque de contactos auxiliares, 4 NA, montaje frontal, bornes de tornillo

Contactors often need additional auxiliary contacts for control signaling, interlocking, or status indication, but built-in contacts are limited. The ABB CA4-40E auxiliary contact block solves this by adding four normally open (NO) contacts to compatible ABB contactors and thermal overload relays, enabling reliable switching of control circuits up to 690 V AC. This front-mounting block snaps directly onto the contactor without tools, saving installation time and reducing wiring complexity.

Who is it for

Electrical engineers, panel builders, and maintenance technicians working with ABB AF09-AF370 or AX09-AX370 contactors, or TA25-TA200 thermal overload relays, who need extra auxiliary contacts for automation and control systems. It is ideal for industrial machinery, motor control centers, and building automation where space is limited and reliability is critical.

Main features

• Four normally open (NO) contacts for versatile control functions.
• Front mounting for quick, tool-free installation on ABB contactors and overload relays.

Tips

Ensure the contactor is de-energized before snapping on the auxiliary contact block. For optimal performance, use wire ferrules with the screw terminals and tighten to the recommended torque. The block is designed for use in enclosed panels; avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
