GE IC2956A205C Contact Assembly – Gold Plated

الوصف

The GE IC2956A205C is a contactor auxiliary contact assembly with gold-plated contacts. This modular attachment is designed for use with contactors and relays to provide additional, highly reliable switching contacts for low-current control circuits.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

This auxiliary contact block provides a combination of Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts. The IC2956A205C is mechanically linked to the main contactor’s armature, ensuring its contacts open and close in perfect synchronization with the main power contacts.

The key feature of this model is its gold-plated contacts. Gold is highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion, making it an excellent conductor, especially for very low currents where a standard oxidized contact could cause a signal failure. This ensures reliable signal transfer and prevents intermittent failures, which is crucial for critical control circuits.

Applications 🏭

The IC2956A205C is a fundamental component in industrial control panels for:

• Interlocking: Creating safety circuits where one device’s status must be known before another can operate.
• Feedback: Sending a reliable signal to a PLC or a supervisory control system to confirm the status of a contactor.
• Signal Multiplication: Allowing a single command to the main contactor to trigger multiple events in the control circuit.
• Low-Current Sensing: Providing reliable switching in circuits with very low signal currents where standard contacts might fail due to oxidation.
