The ABB HK1‑11 is a compact auxiliary contact block designed to provide additional switching contacts for use with manual motor starters and contactors. It features both a Normally Open (NO) and a Normally Closed (NC) contact in a single block, enabling control or feedback functions in electrical control circuits. The HK1‑11 is mounted alongside or onto compatible ABB motor starters or contactor assemblies to extend their control logic capabilities. It is suitable for industrial control panels, motor control centers, and automation systems where status signaling and auxiliary switching are required.
