Contact Block for Pendent Stations
The Dayton 20C816 is a momentary contact block rated at 10 A and 600 V AC, designed for use with manufacturer number 20C813 in pendent station applications. It carries NEMA A600/Q600 designation and meets CE, CSA and UL standards. The unit features a black housing and screw terminal connections for secure wiring.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous operation the contact maintains its 10 A rating at 600 V AC without derating indicated in the supplied data. The momentary action ensures the circuit closes only while the actuator is held, returning to the open position when released. Screw terminals provide a stable connection that resists loosening during prolonged vibration or thermal cycling.
Thermals Noise and Power
No cooling fan or active thermal management is present; the device relies on its screw terminal construction and rated materials to dissipate heat generated at the 10 A load. Operation is silent, with no moving parts other than the momentary contact mechanism. Power draw is limited to the circuit being switched, as the block itself consumes no auxiliary power.

Questions about this item
Does the 10 A contact block generate noticeable heat when used continuously in a pendent station?
The contact block is rated for 10 A at 600 V AC and carries NEMA A600/Q600 designation, so normal operation within those limits produces only minimal temperature rise.
Must I already own a Dayton 20C813 operator for this 22 mm contact block to mount and function?
Yes, the block is specified for use with manufacturer number 20C813, which provides the required 22 mm mounting and momentary action.
Will this 20C816 block work alongside older NEMA-rated contactors that also carry A600/Q600 ratings?
It shares the same NEMA A600/Q600 contact rating and screw-terminal connection, so it can be wired in parallel with legacy devices of the same rating.
