The Allen-Bradley 194E-A-P11 is an auxiliary contact accessory designed for Bulletin 194E load switches. It adds one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) auxiliary contact arrangement to compatible 194E switch assemblies.
This component is not a standalone switching device. It is installed as an additional contact element when the main load switch requires extra electrical indication or control circuit interaction.
In industrial control panels, auxiliary contacts are often added to existing disconnect or load switch assemblies to provide status feedback to external circuits without changing the main power switching function.

Contact Configuration
The 194E-A-P11 expands the capability of a 194E load switch by adding additional auxiliary contacts for control and monitoring purposes.
| Contact Type | Function |
|---|---|
| NO (Normally Open) | Provides a contact that closes when actuated |
| NC (Normally Closed) | Provides a contact that opens when actuated |
This combination allows one accessory block to provide two different auxiliary signals from a single load switch operation.

Installation Position
The accessory is installed as part of the load switch assembly rather than used separately.
| Main Device | Added Component |
|---|---|
| 194E Load Switch | 194E-A-P11 Auxiliary Contact Block |
| Main Switching Circuit | Auxiliary Signal Circuit |
| Power Isolation Function | Status Indication / Control Interface |
The 194E-A-P11 is commonly selected when an existing switch installation requires additional contacts but the main load switch remains unchanged.
In many industrial electrical assemblies, the main switch performs the power switching function while auxiliary contacts provide information to other parts of the control system.
Typical uses include:
- Indicating switch position
- Sending open/closed status signals
- Interlocking with control circuits
- Supporting panel monitoring requirements
The auxiliary contact block allows additional control functions without replacing the complete load switch assembly.
Product Matching Information
Before ordering this accessory, maintenance records usually confirm:
| Check Item | Reference |
|---|---|
| Existing Switch Family | Bulletin 194E |
| Current Range | 16–100 A switch range |
| Accessory Type | Auxiliary Contact Block |
| Contact Arrangement | 1 NO + 1 NC |
| Mounting Location | Base / DIN Rail configuration |
The 194E series includes different auxiliary accessories, so matching the exact accessory code is important.
