Schneider Electric XENG1491 Switch Contact Block 3A

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC XENG1491 is a 2NO/NC switch contact block rated for 3 amps at 240 volts AC. It is designed as a modular electrical contact element used in control circuit applications where reliable switching logic is required. The XENG1491 uses screw terminals for secure wire connections and is built to fit standard pushbutton and selector switch head assemblies. Licensed electricians and industrial control panel technicians install this type of contact block during new panel builds and field service repairs. Its compact form factor and dual-contact configuration make it a practical choice for machine control and industrial operator interface stations.

This contact block is intended for use in control panel and operator station applications where pushbutton or selector switch heads require a field-attachable contact element. The 2NO/NC configuration supports both normally open and normally closed logic in a single block, reducing the number of individual components needed in a control circuit. Typical installations include motor control centers, conveyor systems, and industrial machinery where 240 VAC control circuits are standard. The XENG1491 is specified for use with XACA and XACA9 head assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any contact block or wiring. Screw terminals should be tightened to the torque value specified in the manufacturer installation sheet. Do not exceed the rated amperage or voltage of this contact block in the application circuit.
