The ABB HKF1‑11 is a front‑mounted auxiliary contact block designed to be fitted to compatible manual motor starters and control devices. It provides additional auxiliary contacts that operate in sync with the main switching element, enabling control feedback, interlocking, and signaling functions in industrial control systems. The contact block features a combination of one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact, enhancing the logical control circuitry of motor starters and contactors. Its compact modular design and standardized mounting make it suitable for integration in control panels, motor control centers, and automation equipment.
