MENNEKES hulpcontactschakelaar 41000 voor CEE-apparaten

The MENNEKES 41000 auxiliary contact switch adds a normally open (NO) signaling contact to compatible CEE wall-mounted sockets and appliance inlets. Unlike generic micro switches, it is engineered specifically for MENNEKES AMAXX and PowerTOP Xtra series, ensuring precise mechanical actuation when a plug is inserted. This enables reliable status monitoring, remote signaling, or interlocking control circuits in industrial power distribution systems.

Highlights

• 1 NO contact for status feedback or control
• Rated up to 10 A at 250 V AC (AC-15)
• Mechanical actuation by CEE plug insertion
• Screw terminals accept 1.5–2.5 mm² conductors
• Compact internal mounting, IP20 component protection
• Operating temperature -25 °C to +40 °C
• Thermoplastic housing in black/grey

In daily use

Install the 41000 inside a MENNEKES CEE socket or inlet. When a plug is inserted, the switch changes state, allowing you to signal 'power connected' to a PLC, indicator lamp, or safety interlock. The screw terminals provide a secure connection for solid or stranded wires, and the robust thermoplastic body withstands industrial environments. No external power is needed for the switch itself—it simply follows the mechanical insertion of the plug.
