Overview

The WEG BLRB-02 is a side-mounted auxiliary contact block designed for WEG CWB series contactors. This compact device adds two normally closed (NC) auxiliary contacts to expand control circuit functionality for signaling, interlocking, or monitoring applications. Engineered for compatibility with WEG contactor series, the BLRB-02 integrates seamlessly to enhance motor control circuits, automation systems, and safety interlocks. With a side-mounting configuration, it ensures a space-efficient assembly while maintaining reliable electrical performance in industrial environments. The block is constructed for durability and is suitable for applications requiring auxiliary contact monitoring without additional normally open (NO) contacts. Ideal for retrofitting existing WEG contactor installations or new system designs where auxiliary contact expansion is needed.
