Why Choose the Finder 06K.06 Auxiliary Contact Module?

The Finder 06K.06 is a four-contact auxiliary contact module designed for use with Finder Series 6K Type 6K.04 industrial contactors. Featuring 2 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) contacts, this accessory expands the control and signalling capabilities of compatible contactors in industrial automation and electrical control applications.

With a contact rating of 2 A at 400 V AC-15, the Finder 06K.06 is suitable for auxiliary control circuits, contactor status indication, electrical interlocking and automation signalling. Its mechanically linked contacts are designed in accordance with EN 60947-5-1, supporting coordinated auxiliary contact operation in appropriately designed control systems.

The module incorporates silver-nickel (AgNi) contacts and screw terminals for electrical connections. Designed specifically for the Finder 6K.04 contactor family, it provides a practical solution for expanding auxiliary contact availability without introducing a separate control relay.

Key Advantages

  • Four auxiliary contacts: Provides 2 normally open and 2 normally closed contacts.
  • 2 A AC-15 switching capability: Suitable for control circuits rated up to 400 V AC under the specified utilisation category.
  • Dedicated 6K.04 compatibility: Designed for Finder Series 6K industrial contactors.
  • Mechanically linked contacts: Supports coordinated contact operation in industrial control applications.
  • Silver-nickel contact material: Provides dependable electrical contact performance.
  • Screw terminal connections: Supports conventional industrial control wiring.
  • Additional signalling capacity: Enables auxiliary feedback, interlocking and control functions.
  • Integrated accessory solution: Expands a compatible contactor without requiring a separate auxiliary relay.
  • Industrial application: Suitable for electrical panels, machinery control and automation equipment.

Key Features

  • Finder Series 6K industrial contactor accessory.
  • 06K.06 manufacturer part number.
  • 2 NO + 2 NC auxiliary contact configuration.
  • Four auxiliary contact poles in one module.
  • 2 A rated operational current at 400 V AC-15.
  • 10 A conventional thermal current.
  • AgNi silver-nickel contact material.
  • Mechanically linked contacts according to EN 60947-5-1.
  • Screw terminals for electrical wiring.
  • 8 mm conductor stripping length.
  • Designed for Finder Type 6K.04 industrial contactors.
  • Suitable for auxiliary control, feedback and signalling circuits.
  • Mechanical operation through the associated contactor.

Flexible Auxiliary Control for Finder Series 6K Contactors

The Finder 06K.06 expands the available control contacts of a compatible Finder 6K.04 industrial contactor. When the associated contactor operates, the auxiliary contacts change state, allowing external control circuits to monitor contactor operation or perform additional switching functions. The two normally open contacts close when actuated, while the two normally closed contacts open.

The 2 NO + 2 NC arrangement allows several control functions to be implemented using a single accessory. Typical examples include auxiliary feedback to a programmable logic controller, status indication lamps, electrical interlocking arrangements and control circuit permissives. The mechanically linked contact design supports applications requiring coordinated contact states, subject to the complete control system design.

The module is intended for auxiliary circuits rather than direct switching of the contactor's main power load. Its 2 A at 400 V AC-15 operational rating must be considered separately from the main contactor's power switching capability. Installation and wiring should follow Finder's Series 6K technical documentation.

Typical Applications

  • Finder Type 6K.04 industrial contactor assemblies.
  • Industrial motor starter control circuits.
  • Electrical interlocking between compatible contactors.
  • PLC input and contactor status feedback circuits.
  • Industrial machinery automation panels.
  • Contactor-operated status indication systems.
  • Electrical control cabinets and switchgear assemblies.
  • Process automation and equipment control systems.
  • Auxiliary signalling in industrial electrical installations.
  • Control circuit extensions requiring additional NO and NC contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Finder 06K.06 used for?

The Finder 06K.06 is an auxiliary contact module designed to provide additional normally open and normally closed contacts for compatible Finder Type 6K.04 industrial contactors.

How many auxiliary contacts does the Finder 06K.06 have?

The module contains four auxiliary contacts, consisting of 2 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) contacts.

Which Finder contactors are compatible with the 06K.06?

The Finder 06K.06 is specifically designed for Finder Series 6K Type 6K.04 industrial contactors. Compatibility with other contactor types should not be assumed.

What is the current rating of the Finder 06K.06?

The auxiliary contacts are rated at 2 A at 400 V AC-15. The module also has a 10 A conventional thermal current rating, which is not equivalent to its AC-15 switching rating.

What does 2 NO + 2 NC mean?

2 NO + 2 NC means the module contains two normally open contacts and two normally closed contacts. These change state when the associated contactor operates, providing additional control and signalling functions.

Are the Finder 06K.06 contacts mechanically linked?

Yes. Finder specifies mechanically linked auxiliary contacts for the 06K.06 module in accordance with EN 60947-5-1.

What type of terminals does the Finder 06K.06 use?

The module uses screw terminals for auxiliary circuit wiring, with a specified conductor stripping length of 8 mm.

Can the Finder 06K.06 be used for PLC feedback?

Yes. Its auxiliary contacts can provide contactor status signals to suitable PLC inputs, provided the control circuit voltage, current and input requirements are compatible with the module's ratings.

What is the difference between Finder 06K.03 and 06K.06?

The Finder 06K.03 provides 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contact, while the Finder 06K.06 provides 2 NO + 2 NC contacts. Both are designed for compatible Finder Type 6K.04 contactors.

Does the Finder 06K.06 require its own control voltage?

No. The 06K.06 is a mechanically operated auxiliary contact module and does not incorporate a separate control coil. Its contacts operate through the associated Finder contactor.
