Allen-Bradley 700-CR6 Contact Cartridge Assembly

The Allen-Bradley 700-CR6 is a normally closed contact cartridge in a bright yellow housing that plugs into 700-series timing relays to provide an additional NC contact in a compact, cartridge-based form factor. As a Type R relay accessory, the NC cartridge is designed to extend a relay's input/output capability without replacing the whole assembly, enabling precise control logic, sequencing, and timing functions within compact panels. Rockwell's documentation describes contact cartridges as a means to add contacts to timing relays with unused slots, and the 700-CR6 is explicitly identified as the normally closed cartridge for the Type R family. In official listings, the 700-CR6 is noted as End of Life with discontinuation planned for December 31, 2026, so users should plan for replacement or migration to a modern alternative. If you need to remove or replace it, installation literature indicates the cartridge can be lifted out of the relay base and swapped with the new NC cartridge, ensuring straightforward maintenance within compatible 700-series systems.
