Finder 06K.11 – 6K Series Industrial contactors

Why Choose the Finder 06K.11 Auxiliary Contact Module?

The Finder 06K.11 is a compact normally open auxiliary contact module designed for use with Finder 6K.13 and 6K.14 Series industrial contactors. Featuring a single normally open (1 NO) contact, it provides an additional signalling or control contact that operates mechanically with the associated contactor.

Rated at 2 A at 400 V AC in the AC-15 utilisation category, the Finder 06K.11 is suitable for auxiliary control circuits in industrial automation, motor control panels and electrical distribution equipment. Its mechanically linked contact arrangement is designed in accordance with EN 60947-5-1.

The module features silver-nickel (AgNi) contact material and screw terminals for secure wiring connections. It provides a practical way to expand the auxiliary switching functions of compatible Finder 6K contactors without introducing a separate control relay.

Key Advantages

• One normally open auxiliary contact adds an additional control or signalling function.
• Compatible with Finder 6K.13 and 6K.14 contactors for straightforward system integration.
• 2 A AC-15 rating at 400 V AC supports industrial control circuit applications.
• 10 A thermal rated current according to the manufacturer's auxiliary contact specifications.
• Mechanically linked operation provides contact movement associated with the main contactor.
• AgNi contact material supports reliable auxiliary switching.
• Screw terminal connections provide a practical method of wiring control circuits.
• Compact modular construction helps minimise additional space requirements.
• No separate operating coil is required because the contact is actuated by the associated contactor.
• Suitable for control feedback, interlocking and equipment status indication.

Auxiliary Signalling and Control for Finder 6K Contactors

The Finder 06K.11 provides an additional normally open auxiliary contact that is mechanically operated by the associated Finder 6K.13 or 6K.14 industrial contactor. When the contactor operates, the auxiliary contact changes state, allowing an external control circuit to respond to the contactor's operation.

This arrangement is useful for contactor status feedback, control circuit interlocking, signalling and equipment sequencing. For example, the auxiliary contact can be incorporated into a control circuit to provide an indication that a contactor has been energised.

The 2 A at 400 V AC-15 rating applies to auxiliary control switching duties. The Finder 06K.11 is not intended to replace the main power contacts of a contactor or directly switch loads that exceed its specified auxiliary contact ratings.

Because the module is mechanically operated, it does not require a separate coil supply. Installation should be carried out with the equipment isolated and in accordance with the contactor manufacturer's mounting and wiring instructions.

Typical Applications

• Industrial contactor auxiliary contact expansion.
• Motor starter control and feedback circuits.
• Electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
• Contactor status indication.
• Industrial automation and PLC input signalling.
• Electrical interlocking arrangements.
• Machinery sequencing and control logic.
• Pump and fan control panels.
• Industrial process control systems.
• Maintenance and expansion of Finder 6K.13 and 6K.14 contactor installations.
