Product Description
Benefits & Applications
The Eaton M22-KC10 is a robust dual auxiliary contact block designed for use with Eaton’s M22 pushbuttons, selector switches, and operator devices. This module includes 1 Normally Closed (1NC) and 1 Normally Open (1NO) contact, providing a versatile combination ideal for start/stop circuits, interlocks, PLC input signaling, and safety control logic.
Its modular snap-on design ensures quick installation and secure mounting, making it a reliable choice for industrial panels, OEM machinery, material-handling equipment, and commercial building automation. The M22-KC10 offers high electrical reliability and long operational life, even in demanding environments.
Typical Applications
- Start/stop pushbutton stations
- Motor control and interlock circuits
- PLC and automation feedback signals
- Machine safety and disable/enable logic
- OEM and industrial control panels
Technical Advantages
- 1NC + 1NO auxiliary contacts in a compact dual-block configuration
- Tool-free snap mounting behind M22 operators
- High mechanical endurance for frequent operation
- Reliable low-level switching for PLC inputs
- Modular design allows stacking additional NO or NC blocks
- Compatible with all Eaton M22 pushbutton, selector, and E-stop devices
Compatibility Notes
The M22-KC10 fits directly onto Eaton’s M22 modular operator system, including:
- M22 momentary and maintained pushbuttons
- M22 selector switches and key switches
- M22 emergency stop operators
- M22 mounting bases and expansion modules
If your application requires a combined 1NC + 1NO auxiliary contact for safety, feedback, or motor control logic, the M22-KC10 is the correct OEM accessory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the contact configuration of the M22-KC10?
It provides 1 Normally Closed (1NC) and 1 Normally Open (1NO) auxiliary contacts in a single stacked module.
Q: How is the M22-KC10 different from the M22-KC01?
Both offer the same 1NC + 1NO combination, but the physical stacking orientation is reversed. This affects panel layout and operator depth in tight enclosures but not electrical functionality.
Q: Is the M22-KC10 compatible with all M22 operators?
Yes. It snaps onto all Eaton M22 pushbuttons, selector switches, key switches, and E-stop units.
Q: Can I use the M22-KC10 for PLC inputs?
Absolutely. The module provides clean, reliable switching suitable for PLC digital input circuits and low-voltage control systems.
Q: Can additional auxiliary blocks be stacked?
Yes. The modular M22 series allows stacking multiple NO and NC blocks to create advanced control combinations.
