ASG LAY5-BE101 NO Contact Block (22mm, Normally Open, 10A Ith)

Expand the functionality of your control panels with the ASG LAY5-BE101 Normally Open (NO) Contact Block. Designed for use with standard 22mm LAY5 series pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot devices, this contact block provides a reliable Normally Open circuit for your elevator control panels, machine controls, and industrial automation systems. Featuring clear markings compliant with EN 60947-5-1, it offers a dependable solution available at ISF Elevator Shop.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Normally Open Function: Provides one NO contact path (Terminals .3 and .4), meaning the circuit is open when the actuator is not pressed and closes (conducts electricity) when the actuator is operated.

• Standard 22mm Fit: Fully compatible with the widely used 22mm mounting system, specifically designed for LAY5 series bases and operators.

• Clear Identification: Features a black body with a green actuator plunger, adhering to the industry standard for easy identification of Normally Open (NO) functionality.

• Reliable Ratings: Clearly marked with Ith: 10(6)A, Ui: 400V~, and Ie: 3A/240V~ (AC-15), indicating its suitability for standard control circuits according to EN 60947-5-1.

• Secure Wiring: Equipped with easily accessible screw terminals for reliable wire connections (Terminals .3 and .4 for NO contact).

• Simple Installation: Designed for quick and secure snap-on mounting onto the corresponding pushbutton base or holder.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for adding start functions, signal confirmations, logic inputs, or any application requiring a circuit to be completed upon actuation in industrial environments.

Typical Applications:

The ASG LAY5-BE101 NO contact block is commonly used in:

• Elevator Control Panels: For functions like floor calls (when used with appropriate button), signal inputs, or specific control logic.

• Industrial Control Panels: Start buttons, control circuit activation, machine operation signals.

• Automation Systems: Providing status feedback or initiating actions within automated sequences.

• Electrical Cabinets: General purpose switching for various control applications compliant with EN 60947-5-1.

Technical Specifications:

Note: Ensure compatibility with your specific 22mm LAY5 series pushbutton base or switch operator before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – ASG LAY5-BE101 NO Contact Block

Q1: What does this contact block do?

A: It adds a “Normally Open” electrical switch path (terminals .3 and .4) to a 22mm LAY5 series pushbutton or selector switch assembly. The circuit closes only when the actuator is pressed.

Q2: What does “NO” (Normally Open) mean?

A: Normally Open means the electrical contacts inside the block are separated (open circuit) in their resting state. Actuating the device closes the contacts.

Q3: Why is the little plunger green?

A: The green actuator plunger visually indicates that this is a Normally Open (NO) contact block, following industry standards.

Q4: Will this fit any 22mm pushbutton?

A: It’s specifically designed for the ASG LAY5 series 22mm mounting system. Ensure compatibility with your base unit.

Q5: How are wires connected?

A: Wires are connected using the screw terminals located on the side/back of the block (terminals .3 and .4).

Q6: What are the electrical ratings (Ith, Ui, Ie)?

A: As marked on the block: Ith (Thermal Current) is 10A (or 6A in an enclosure), Ui (Insulation Voltage) is 400V AC, and Ie (Operational Current for AC-15) is 3A at 240V AC. This indicates it’s suitable for standard control circuits, not direct high-power switching. Use it to control relays, contactors, or PLC inputs.
