Schneider Electric ZBE-101 Single Contact Block Description

Functions

Single contact block designed for electrical control, featuring one normally open contact. It offers a quick-connect screw terminal interface for secure wiring connections. This device is used in pushbutton switches and control stations, facilitating signal transmission in industrial automation systems. Equipped with high mechanical durability for frequent operations, it can be snapped onto compatible switch bases, allowing customization of control devices. Ideal for use in low-voltage electrical circuits, it ensures reliable operation across diverse applications including machinery, manufacturing lines, and process control equipment.

Platforms

Designed for integration within 22 mm Harmony XB4 push button and selector switch assemblies, this single contact block operates as a normally open (1NO) electrical switch component. It features silver alloy contacts and screw clamp terminals for reliable wiring connections. It is rated for up to 10 A current and 600 V AC voltage, conforms to IP20 protection level, and allows easy snap-on installation or replacement. The block facilitates controlled actuation signals in industrial control panels and automation systems, interfacing electrically and mechanically with modular operator units.

Applications

A single contact block designed for use in industrial control panels and electrical distribution systems. It provides a single normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contact for use in conjunction with a compatible operator like a pushbutton or selector switch to control the flow of electrical current in the circuit. Typically used in applications such as motor control, signaling, and interlocking.

Accessories

Required associated equipment includes a Harmony XB4 or XB5 series operator head and a mounting base. The electrical interface consists of screw clamp terminals accommodating wire sizes from 1 x 0.22 mm² to 2 x 2.5 mm². A mechanical clip-on interface facilitates mounting to the base. The -101 suffix designates a single block with one normally open (1 NO) contact.

Interfaces

Single normally open (1NO) contact block; silver alloy contacts; screw clamp terminals compatible with up to 2x1.5 mm² cable with end sleeves or 1x0.22 mm² wire without sleeve; slow-break contact operation; designed for 22 mm Harmony XB4/XB5 push button and selector switch heads; mechanical travel 2.6 mm (NO contact switching), total travel 4.3 mm; high cycle durability (10 million operations); compatible with screw, connector, Faston, or spring terminal connections; rated 10 A, 600 VAC; IP20 protection; Chrome plated block housing.

Specifications

Provides single-pole, snap-action electrical switching for control circuits. Designed for modular integration into industrial pushbuttons or selector switches (e.g., Harmony XB4/XB5 range), offering normally open or normally closed functionality. Utilizes screw clamp terminals for secure wire connections. Interfaces electrically with control logic (PLCs, relays) and human operators via its integrated actuator, enabling discrete command and status signaling in machine, process, and panel control systems.
