Auxiliary M-Contactor Kit
for FlexPak Plus and MinPak Plus DC Drives
Model Number 14C219
Instruction Manual D2-3383
Product Description
The Auxiliary M-contactor allows you to interlock the on/off status of a single-phase FlexPak™ Plus or
MinPak™ Plus DC drive with user-supplied devices. The Auxiliary M-contactor provides a single pair of Form C
contacts, one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC). Both contacts share a common terminal, as
shown in figure 1. The contacts function for unidirectional or bi-directional (forward/reverse) drives.
Typical applications include pilot and indicator lights, alarms, and interlocks with other control circuits
dependent on the drive system. The user must provide wiring to external devices. Wire size depends upon the
application, but should not exceed AWG 14. See the device instruction manuals for further information.
The maximum rating of each contact is 1 A at 30 VDC (resistive) or 0.5 A at 120 VAC (resistive). Do not use
these contacts to control brakes or other power loads.
The Auxiliary M-contactor is a printed circuit board with a contactor, a terminal strip, and an attached wire
harness. It is designed to be mounted on the drive’s auxiliary mounting bracket. For 1/4 to 1-1/2 HP MinPak
Plus drives, the Auxiliary Mounting Bracket (M/N 14C209) must be ordered separately. The contents of the
Auxiliary M-contactor kit are listed in table 1.
