Overview

The ABB CA4-10K is a 1-pole auxiliary contact block designed for front mounting in standard industrial environments. It features instantaneous Normally Open (N.O.) contacts, providing essential signaling and control capabilities for motor protection and control circuits. The CA4-10K utilizes push-in spring terminals, which offer a secure and reliable connection without the need for tools, significantly reducing installation time and effort. These terminals are also protected against accidental direct contact, enhancing operator safety during maintenance or wiring. This auxiliary contact block is compatible with a range of ABB contactors, including AF09 through AF96 series, and is specifically designed to meet standard requirements when used with certain contactor types (refer to terminal marking and positioning guides for specific compatibility). Each block is clearly marked with its function, facilitating easy identification and minimizing the risk of wiring errors in complex control panels. The CA4-10K is manufactured by ABB - Electrification, a trusted name in industrial electrical solutions, ensuring quality and dependable performance. Its application extends to auxiliary circuits and control circuits within automation, motor control, and panel building applications where reliable auxiliary switching is critical. The SKU for this unit is CA4-10K, and it is manufactured in Germany (DE).
