Schneider Electric LA1KN13 Auxiliary Contact Block

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC LA1KN13 is an auxiliary contact block designed to expand the contact capacity of compatible contactors in industrial and commercial electrical control systems. This accessory mounts directly to its host contactor to add supplementary switching contacts for control circuit logic, interlocking, or signaling functions. The unit weighs 0.09 pounds and measures 1.7 inches in length, 1.5 inches in width, and 1.2 inches in height, making it a compact addition to panel-mounted contactor assemblies. Licensed electricians and industrial control technicians are the primary installers.

The LA1KN13 auxiliary contact block is intended for use with CA2K, CA3K, and TeSys K series contactors from SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC. These contactor families are commonly deployed in motor control, lighting control, and general load switching applications in both commercial and light industrial environments. The block adds auxiliary contact points without increasing the overall footprint of the contactor significantly, fitting within tight enclosure layouts where space is a consistent constraint.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local electrical codes. De-energize and lock out the contactor and associated control circuit before attaching or removing the auxiliary contact block. The block snaps or mounts directly onto the contactor body per the contactor series design — consult the contactor and contact block documentation for the correct mounting orientation. Verify all control circuit connections are secure and properly terminated before restoring power.
