Eaton DILM Front-Mount Auxiliary Contact Blocks: 2026 Selection Guide for B2B Distributors

Why Front-Mount Auxiliary Contacts Matter

Every motor starter needs status feedback. The motor is running, the overload tripped, the contactor is on or off — your PLC needs to know. Front-mount auxiliary contact blocks provide that feedback, mounting directly on the front face of the DILM contactor without taking up extra panel space.

RF Mando added 18 new front-mount auxiliary contact SKUs to rfmando.com in 2026. This guide shows B2B distributors which SKU to stock for each contact configuration.

1. Contact Configurations Explained

Each SKU is named with its contact configuration in the suffix. The format is:

• First digit = number of NO (Normally Open) contacts
• Second digit = number of NC (Normally Closed) contacts

Examples:

• 11 = 1NO + 1NC (most common)
• 20 = 2NO
• 22 = 2NO + 2NC
• 40 = 4NO
• 04 = 4NC

5. How to Choose the Right SKU

Ask 3 questions:

1. How many NO/NC contacts do you need? Most PLCs need 1NO+1NC for status. If you need both motor status and fault signal, go 2NO+2NC.
2. Is the environment hazardous? If yes, choose XTCEXFAC (ATEX) over XTCEXFBG (general purpose).
3. What's the contactor current rating? All front-mount blocks fit DILM 7A-150A contactors. For larger frames, use side-mount instead.
