Eaton M22-KC10 contactelement 1NO schroefaansluiting bodemmontage 216380

This Eaton M22-KC10 contact element is a fundamental building block for control circuits, offering a single normally open contact in a robust, compact package. Engineered for the M22 range of pushbuttons, selector switches and control stations, it combines proven silver alloy contact technology with a screw termination system for dependable, long-term performance in industrial environments.

Advantages

The contact element delivers consistent switching under demanding conditions. Its silver alloy contacts provide low contact resistance and high resilience to electrical erosion, while the screw terminals permit fast and secure wiring with standard tools. The base mounting design simplifies installation, and the IP20 terminal protection shields against accidental contact during commissioning and maintenance.
