ZBE-1016P
ActiveZBE Spring-Return Contact 1NO+1NC Stacked
Schneider ZBE dual contact element — 1NO+1NC in one block.
Common Applications
Stacked dual contact element. 1NO for start signal + 1NC for PLC feedback, from a single stackable block. Saves space vs two separate blocks. Snaps onto any Harmony XB4/XB5 mounting base.
Compatibility
Fits all Schneider Harmony XB4, XB5, and legacy Telemecanique XB2 mounting bases. Stacks with other ZBE elements for up to 4 contacts per button.

Contact Configuration
1NO + 1NC: One circuit closes and one opens when pressed. Common for start buttons that also signal 'running' state.

Mechanical Life
How many press cycles before mechanical failure. Higher is better — 10M cycles at 100 presses/day = 274 years.

Terminal Type
How you connect wires. Screw clamp is most common in industrial. Spring cage is faster but requires proper ferrules.

Installation Quick Reference
Mounting: Snap onto the rear of any compatible button body in the same series. The latch clicks audibly when properly seated. Some models require a mounting adapter.
Wiring: Terminals are marked NO (11/12) or NC (21/22). Use 0.5-2.5mm² wire with ferrules. Tighten to 0.8 Nm. Verify with a multimeter before energizing.

Troubleshooting
Intermittent switching
Silver contacts are pitted from arcing. Replace the contact block — they are consumable parts. If arcing is severe, check that the switched load doesn't exceed the contact rating (typically 6A at 120VAC).
Contact block won't snap onto button body
Verify the contact block series matches the button head series (e.g., Schneider ZB4 blocks fit ZB4 heads only, not ZB5). Check for debris or damage on the mounting tabs.
