Business Applications

1-66101-5 contacts, commonly known as multi-purpose contacts, are specialized switch contacts found in hundreds of business applications. These contacts are suited for different feedback applications involving the long-term operation of relays, lamps, buzzers, limit switches, low level limit switches, and fire and heat detectors.

Principles of Operation

Multi-purpose contacts have three main components; the movable plunger, the actuator, and the contact mechanism. The plunger is typically a spring-loaded piece that exerts force on the other two components. The actuator is an lever, knob, or finger tab that pushes on the plunger when it is being activated. Finally, the contact mechanism is the physical bridge between the plunger and the actuator. It is usually made of metal, plastic, or some combination of the two.When activated, the plunger presses against the contact mechanism creating an electrical connection. Depending on the type of application, the contact may either short, open, or bypass the electrical current through the contact. For example, a relay or lamp application may require a short contact while a limit switch may require an open contact.

Advantages of 1-66101-5 Contacts

1-66101-5 contacts are often preferred because of their small size, low cost, and ease of installation. Additionally, the contacts are designed to provide reliable operation over a wide range of temperature and dampness conditions.The contacts can also be combined in a variety of configurations to accommodate more complex applications. For example, a single contact may include two plungers and two contact mechanisms, one set for a short contact and one set for an open contact. Similarly, multiple contacts can be combined into a single unit for more complex applications.

Interfacing With Controllers

Multi-purpose contacts are used in many business applications that require feedback from remote controllers. The controller communicates with the contact by either sending an electrical signal or activating the contact’s actuator. The contact then activates the plunger, creating the desired electrical connection. Depending on the application, the contact may either short, open, or bypass current through the contact.Some controllers are designed to work with all types of contacts, while others may require the use of specialized contacts. Additionally, some controllers may require unique programming to properly interface with the contact. It is important to consult the controller’s manual to ensure that it is compatible with 1-66101-5 contacts.
