Overview

The ABB CAL4-11K is a 2-pole auxiliary contact block designed for side mounting on ABB contactors and contactor relays in the AF09 to AF96 series. This unit provides instantaneous normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts, enabling essential auxiliary circuit control for standard industrial environments. The CAL4-11K extends the control capabilities of compatible contactors, supporting signaling and interlocking functions in motor control and protection systems. Engineered for direct clipping onto the right- and/or left-hand side of ABB contactors, the CAL4-11K offers a space-efficient and flexible mounting solution. Installation is simplified by push-in spring terminals, which eliminate the need for traditional screw connections. This design reduces wiring time by up to 50% and minimizes the risk of loose connections, a common cause of system failures. The spring terminals are also protected against accidental direct contact, enhancing operational safety in high-traffic control panels. Each contact block is clearly marked with its function (N.O. or N.C.), enabling quick identification and reducing the potential for wiring errors in complex control panels. The CAL4-11K is part of ABB's motor protection and control portfolio, known for reliability in demanding industrial applications such as HVAC systems, conveyor belts, and pump control. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance in harsh operating conditions. Key specifications include: - Compatibility: AF09 to AF96 series contactors - Contact configuration: 1 N.O. + 1 N.C. - Terminal type: Push-in spring terminals - Mounting: Side mounting (right and/or left) - Protection: Terminals protected against accidental direct contact - Function marking: Clearly labeled for N.O. and N.C. contacts - Weight: 0.030 kg per unit - Order code: CAL4-11K (1SBC100082V0014) The CAL4-11K is a reliable, space-saving solution for extending control capabilities in industrial motor protection and control systems, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
