Overview

The ABB CA4-22MK is a 4-pole auxiliary contact block designed for front mounting, featuring 2 Normally Open (N.O.) and 2 Normally Closed (N.C.) instantaneous contacts. This block utilizes push-in spring terminals, which are protected against accidental direct contact, enhancing operational safety. The terminals are clearly marked with their corresponding functions, simplifying installation and maintenance within control circuits. Specifically designed for use with ABB contactors and contactor relays such as AF09...AF16..-30-102, the CA4-22MK ensures reliable auxiliary circuit operation in standard industrial environments. Its push-in spring terminal technology offers a secure connection without the need for tools, reducing installation time and potential wiring errors compared to traditional screw terminals. The protected terminals provide an additional layer of safety, crucial for personnel working in electrical control panels. Each contact block is engineered for straightforward integration and is clearly labeled for easy identification of its N.O. and N.C. configurations. This clarity is vital for complex control systems, troubleshooting, and minimizing downtime. The CA4-22MK is manufactured in Germany (DE) and is a key component for applications including motor control, signaling, and interlocking functions within industrial automation and power distribution systems. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it suitable for OEMs and system integrators requiring dependable control solutions.
