EATON M22-K10 M22 Contact Block, 22.5 Mm, Front, Screw, Button: Black, No, Ip66, Nema 4X

Eaton M22-K10 contact block is designed to turn an electric circuit On (make) or Off (break). It is connected to switches, relays and circuit breakers which allow current to flow and complete the circuit.

Features:

• It comes equipped with screw-type connecting terminals for ease of wiring and protection against accidental contact.
• This contact block is Normally Open (NO), which means that the unit does not let the current flow while it is on standby or at rest mode.
• It features IP66 and NEMA 4X rating to protect the internal components from dust and moisture ingress.

Standards and Approvals:

• CSA
• CE
• CCC
• GoST-R

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the use of a pushbutton contact block?

A. A pushbutton contact block allows changing the state of the contacts momentarily. These units control startup and shutdown for industrial devices, such as emergency buttons for car crushers and On/Off switches for lathes.

Q. What is the difference between NO and NC?

A. Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) define the state of switches, sensors or relay contacts. The NO contact is the one that remains open until its actuator is pressed, thereby starting current flow. NC contact, on the other hand, remains closed unless an actuator is released to stop current flow.

Q. How does a pushbutton switch work?

A. A pushbutton switch is a small, sealed mechanism which consists of a small metal spring. When pressed, this spring comes in contact with wires, allowing electricity to flow. As the button is released, the spring retracts and the contact is interrupted, thereby blocking the current flow completely.
