Allen-Bradley 1495-N8 Terminal Block 8 Position

Allen-Bradley 1495-N8 Auxiliary Contact Kit adds a single normally open (N.O.) auxiliary contact to compatible disconnect switches, enabling signaling of the switch position without loading the main contacts. It is designed for use with Allen-Bradley 1494-series disconnect switches (models 1494C, 1494F, 1494V, 1494G) and is typically paired in control circuits to provide a monitoring input for PLCs, HMIs, or safety interlocks. The N8 variant delivers one normally open contact; the related 1495-N9 provides normally closed contacts. This accessory extends signaling capability in motor control centers and automation panels, supporting applications such as remote status indication and interlock logic in 30–400 A installations associated with the 1494 switches. As part of the 1495 auxiliary contact family, the kit is an add-on rather than a stand-alone device, designed to integrate with the corresponding disconnect hardware to provide a compact signaling path that complements the main power path.
