Eaton Precision Limit Switch Contact Block, Thermoset Phenolic

The Eaton Precision Limit Switch Contact Block is a replacement contact block engineered for Eaton precision limit switches, featuring a durable thermoset phenolic enclosure and a 1 NO-1 NC contact configuration. Rated 40A make / 15A break at 120 Vac and 0.5A make/break at 120 Vdc, this contact block uses secure screw terminal connections for dependable field wiring. Its compact, precision-molded housing measures 1.23 in wide, 1 in high, and .81 in deep, and is built for consistent, repeatable switching performance in industrial control panels and machine position-sensing applications where reliable contact operation is critical.

Key Features

  • Contact Configuration: 1 NO-1 NC contact arrangement delivers reliable normally-open/normally-closed circuit switching for control and interlock circuits.
  • Enclosure Material: Thermoset phenolic construction resists heat, mechanical wear, and electrical stress for a long service life in demanding duty cycles.
  • Connection Type: Screw terminal connections provide a secure, serviceable wiring interface that simplifies installation and field maintenance.
  • Maximum AC Current: Rated 40A make, 15A break at 120 Vac for dependable AC switching duty in control circuits.
  • Maximum DC Current: Rated 0.5A make, 0.5A break at 120 Vdc for low-current DC control and signaling circuits.
  • Compact Dimensions: 1.23 in width, 1 in height, and .81 in depth allow for a precise, drop-in fit within Eaton precision limit switch bodies.
  • Switch Type: Contact block design purpose-built as a replacement component for Eaton precision limit switch assemblies.

Eaton 10316H828 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Eaton 10316H828 contact block, and does it replace a whole limit switch?
It's a replacement contact block for Eaton precision limit switch assemblies, not a complete switch. You keep the existing switch body, actuator and head, and swap in the contact block with its 1 NO-1 NC contact arrangement. That makes it a maintenance part for a switch that still mounts and actuates correctly but has worn or pitted contacts.
2) Will an Eaton precision limit switch contact block handle a 120 VAC motor starter coil circuit?
The contact rating is 40 A make and 15 A break at 120 Vac, which covers typical control circuit and coil inrush duty at that voltage. On DC it is much more limited: 0.5 A make and 0.5 A break at 120 Vdc, so treat DC use as low-current signaling and control only.
3) What is the difference between the 10316H828 and 10316H1028 Eaton contact blocks?
Both are 1 NO-1 NC contact blocks. The 10316H1028 is specified as 1 NO-1 NC snap action, meaning the contact transfer is snap-acting rather than plain make/break. If your application needs a defined, fast transfer point for repeatable position sensing, order the snap action version; otherwise the 10316H828 is the standard 1 NO-1 NC block.
4) How do the wires land on this Eaton contact block, screw terminals or quick connects?
Screw terminals. You land bare conductors under the screws, which is serviceable in the field and lets you re-terminate without crimping spade lugs. If your panel is built around quick-connect tabs, plan on changing the terminations.
5) Can I use one Eaton contact block for both a run signal and a safety interlock at the same time?
Yes, the 1 NO-1 NC arrangement gives you two independent circuits off a single actuation: the normally open contact to signal or energize on actuation, and the normally closed contact to drop out an interlock or permissive at the same moment. That is why these blocks are common in conveyor and safety interlock circuits.
6) How much room does the Eaton limit switch contact block take up inside the switch body?
The housing measures 1.23 in wide, 1 in high and .81 in deep. It is precision-molded to drop into Eaton precision limit switch bodies, so the footprint is set by the switch you are servicing rather than by panel space.
7) Is the contact block housing tough enough for a hot, high-cycle machine environment?
The enclosure is thermoset phenolic, which holds up to heat, mechanical wear and electrical stress across repeated duty cycles. That is the usual choice for contact blocks living on conveyors, presses and other machinery where the switch is actuated constantly.
