Auxiliary contacts are secondary switching devices that operate in conjunction with primary switching equipment such as circuit breakers, relays, and contactors. These contacts are physically connected to the main switching mechanism and are activated simultaneously.

What are they used for? Auxiliary contacts are used for various functions, e.g. self-holding, consent/block, signaling, interlocking.
