Product Description
Benefits & Applications
The Lovato Electric 8LM2TC10A is a high-reliability 1NO (Normally Open) auxiliary contact block designed for use with Lovato’s 8LM series pushbuttons, selector switches, and modular operator devices. The “A” variant provides an alternate mounting orientation, making it ideal for operator assemblies or control panels that require a specific mechanical position or reduced installation depth.
Engineered for industrial control environments, the 8LM2TC10A delivers long electrical and mechanical life, clean signal switching, and fast tool-free installation. It is commonly used for start functions, enable commands, motor control circuits, and PLC input logic where a dependable NO auxiliary contact is required.
Typical Applications
- Start and enable control circuits
- PLC input and automation feedback
- Motor starter auxiliary signaling
- Industrial operator stations and OEM panels
- Building automation and HVAC control systems
Technical Advantages
- 1 Normally Open (1NO) auxiliary contact
- “A” orientation for alternative mounting positions or compact panel layouts
- Reliable low-level switching for PLC and control circuits
- Tool-free snap-on mounting for fast installation
- Long mechanical endurance for demanding applications
- Fully compatible with Lovato 8LM modular operator devices
Compatibility Notes
The 8LM2TC10A is designed for the Lovato 8LM series operator platform, including:
- Pushbuttons (illuminated and non-illuminated)
- Selector and key switches
- Emergency stop and maintained operators
- Control stations and OEM machine interfaces
If your application requires a 1NO auxiliary contact with a specific mounting orientation or reduced operator depth, the 8LM2TC10A is the correct Lovato OEM accessory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the “A” indicate in 8LM2TC10A?
The “A” denotes a specific mounting orientation or mechanical configuration that differs from the standard 8LM2TC10 model, allowing use in tighter or uniquely arranged control panels.
Q: Is the 8LM2TC10A different electrically from the 8LM2TC10?
Electrically, both provide 1 Normally Open (1NO) control. The difference is the physical mounting or orientation.
Q: Is this auxiliary contact compatible with Lovato 8LM pushbuttons?
Yes. It fits all Lovato 8LM pushbuttons, selector switches, and key-operated switches.
Q: Can the 8LM2TC10A be used for PLC inputs?
Absolutely, it provides clean and reliable NO contact switching suitable for PLC digital input circuits.
Q: Can I stack this contact block with other Lovato auxiliary modules?
Yes. Lovato’s 8LM modular design allows stacking NO and NC contact blocks to build more complex control logic.
