Why Choose the Lovato GAX1020A 2NO Auxiliary Contact?
The Lovato GAX1020A is a compact 2NO auxiliary contact block designed for compatible Lovato GA series switch disconnectors. It provides two normally open auxiliary contacts that operate simultaneously with the main poles of the switch disconnector, allowing the switching state to be communicated to control, signalling and interlocking circuits.
Designed as a side-mounted accessory, the GAX1020A integrates directly with compatible GA switch disconnectors without requiring a separate external sensing device. The two mechanically linked normally open contacts are identified as 13-14 and 23-24, providing two independent signalling paths that change state with operation of the associated switch.
With an IEC conventional free-air thermal current of 10 A and a mechanical life of 100,000 cycles, the GAX1020A is suitable for dependable auxiliary switching in industrial control panels, power distribution equipment and machinery installations using compatible Lovato GA switch disconnectors.

Reliable Position Signalling for Switch Disconnectors
Auxiliary contacts allow the operating state of a switch disconnector to be incorporated into control and signalling circuits. Because the GAX1020A contacts operate simultaneously with the main poles, they can provide electrical status information for indication lamps, PLC inputs, control relays and other supervisory equipment.
The GAX1020A provides two normally open contacts in a compact side-mounted block. Its mechanical endurance and dedicated compatibility with Lovato GA switch disconnectors make it a practical accessory for panel builders requiring dependable switch-position signalling and control integration.
Typical Applications
- Switch disconnector position signalling.
- PLC and automation system status inputs.
- Electrical control and interlocking circuits.
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- Machine control and isolation systems.
- Photovoltaic and industrial power switching installations.
