Why Choose the Lovato LPXC02 Auxiliary Contact Element?
The Lovato LPXC02 is a compact and reliable double auxiliary contact element with 2 normally closed contacts designed for use with compatible Lovato pushbuttons and selector switches. As part of the Lovato Platinum series, it provides dependable auxiliary switching for industrial control panels, machinery and automation systems.
The LPXC02 features screw terminals for secure field wiring and is designed for use with Lovato LPC, LPS and LPF control devices. Its double-contact configuration provides two independent normally closed circuits in a single compact contact element, helping simplify control-panel wiring and conserve installation space.
With a rated insulation voltage of 250 V, conventional free-air thermal current of 10 A and an IEC/UL utilisation designation of A300 / Q300, the LPXC02 is suitable for demanding industrial control and signalling circuits.
Key Advantages
- Compact double contact element with 2NC configuration.

Auxiliary contact elements provide additional switching circuits for functions such as interlocking, status indication, signalling and control logic. A normally closed contact remains conductive in its normal state and opens when the associated pushbutton or selector mechanism is operated.
The Lovato LPXC02 combines two normally closed contacts in one compact element, making it suitable for control-panel applications where multiple NC signalling or interlocking circuits must be switched from a single operator device.
Typical Applications
- Industrial pushbutton control stations.
- Selector switch assemblies.
- Machine control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Interlocking and control circuits.
- Status indication and signalling systems.
- Industrial automation and OEM machinery.
