Eaton Cutler-Hammer C320KGS42 Auxiliary Contact
When you're outfitting large-scale motor control systems, the Eaton Cutler-Hammer C320KGS42 is the standard for reliable signal interlocking. Specifically engineered for the Freedom Series, this 1NO-1NC base auxiliary contact is a direct-fit component for NEMA size 4 and size 5 magnetic contactors and starters, as well as IEC sizes P through S. Unlike top-mount alternatives, this side-mounted block features a low-profile design that maintains high-performance switching without increasing the depth of your enclosure. The bifurcated silver cadmium alloy contacts are a critical technical upgrade for contractors dealing with low-energy logic-level circuits, ensuring superior continuity despite potential dust or oxidation. Rated for up to 600VAC (A600/P300), this contactor accessory provides the precise status feedback required for PLC inputs or safety light indicators. Its snap-on terminal geometry allows for rapid installation on Freedom Series starters, reducing bench time when configuring complex motor control centers and industrial control panels.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with NEMA Sizes 4-5 and IEC Sizes P-S Freedom Series hardware for versatile inventory management.
- Enhanced Signal Reliability: Features bifurcated contacts designed to penetrate surface oxidation, essential for low-voltage signal consistency.
- Simplified Installation: The snap-on side mount design allows for quick field additions to magnetic contactors without disassembling the main power wiring.
- Industrial Durability: Constructed with impact-resistant materials to withstand the high-vibration environments typical of heavy HVACR and industrial starters.
What is the difference between a base auxiliary and an add-on auxiliary for NEMA 4 motors?
The C320KGS42 serves as the primary base contact block for larger NEMA frame sizes. In size 4 and 5 starters, you typically install one base auxiliary per side before adding supplemental stacked contacts for additional circuits.
Can I use this auxiliary contact for low-voltage PLC inputs?
Yes. The silver cadmium alloy and bifurcated design are specifically intended to handle the low-energy requirements of logic-level switching, preventing "dry contact" signaling failures common in standard contacts.
How do I identify the contact configuration on the job site?
Eaton uses a two-digit code system; the code "11" on this unit indicates one normally open (1) and one normally closed (1) circuit for easy identification during control circuit troubleshooting.
