Eaton E22H2X4 Standard Type Contact Block 22.5mm

Product Description

The EATON E22H2X4 is a standard-type contact block designed for use with 22.5mm pushbutton and selector switch operator assemblies. Contact blocks are the switching elements that mount behind or beneath the operator head to make or break control circuits when the button is actuated. The E22H2X4 is a modular component used by electricians and industrial control technicians to build or service operator stations in control panels, machinery, and process equipment. Weighing 0.08 pounds, the block installs quickly onto compatible 22.5mm operator bases without special tooling.

This contact block is suited for use in operator stations found in light industrial and commercial control applications. It is typically installed in control panel pushbutton stations, pendant stations, and machine operator interfaces where low-voltage control circuits require reliable switching. Maintenance electricians and panel builders use contact blocks like the E22H2X4 when repairing worn assemblies or configuring new operator stations to meet specific contact arrangement requirements.

Key Features

• Standard-type contact block for 22.5mm operator mounting footprint
• Modular design allows stacking or replacement without disturbing the full operator assembly
• Lightweight construction at 0.08 pounds for easy panel integration
• Compatible with EATON E22 series operator heads and mounting bases

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on contact block for 22.5mm pushbutton and selector switch operator assemblies typical of industrial control panel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician with the control panel de-energized and locked out per NFPA 70E procedures before handling any control circuit components. The contact block snaps onto or screws into the operator base according to the operator series mounting method. Verify the contact arrangement and circuit configuration against the panel wiring diagram before energizing. NEC Article 430 and relevant machine safety standards apply when contact blocks are used in motor control circuit applications.
