Why Choose the ABB 1SCA162595R1001 AUXGD-11 Auxiliary Contact Block?
The ABB 1SCA162595R1001 AUXGD-11 is a genuine auxiliary contact block designed for door-mounted ABB OT Plus switch-disconnectors. It provides one normally open and one normally closed contact, allowing the switch position to be integrated into signalling, monitoring, interlocking and automation circuits.
Compatible with door-mounted OT16G to OT160G switch-disconnectors, the contact block uses a convenient snap-on mounting system. It can be fitted on either side of the switch, helping panel builders expand control functionality without modifying the main switching device or adding unnecessary installation complexity.
The normally open contact incorporates an early-break function, allowing the auxiliary circuit to change state before the main switch contacts complete their opening sequence. This makes the AUXGD-11 particularly useful in control applications where advance signalling, load interruption or electrical interlocking is required.

Reliable Position Signalling for Door-mounted Switches
The ABB AUXGD-11 operates mechanically with the associated OT Plus switch-disconnector, providing additional electrical contacts that indicate or respond to the switch position. These contacts can be connected to PLC inputs, indicator lamps, control relays, alarm circuits or other monitoring equipment.
Its early-break normally open contact is particularly valuable where a control circuit must be interrupted shortly before the main contacts open. This can support safer switching sequences, controlled shutdown procedures and dependable electrical interlocking within industrial power distribution systems.

Door-mounted switch-disconnector installations.
Industrial power distribution panels.
Machine control and automation systems.
PLC switch-position monitoring.
Electrical interlocking circuits.
