The Pilz PIT ESH5 Holder for 5 Contact Blocks (part no. 400340) is a specialised accessory engineered to provide secure and efficient mounting for multiple contact blocks in Pilz control and signal device assemblies. By enabling the attachment of up to five contact blocks, this holder plays a key role in ensuring flexibility, reliability, and ease of integration in machine control systems.

At its core, the PIT ESH5 delivers a dedicated and stable mounting solution, designed specifically to work within the Pilz PITcontrol ecosystem. It ensures that individual contact blocks—used for emergency stops, pushbuttons, or selector switches—are securely fixed in place, maintaining consistent alignment and reliable functionality. This stability is particularly important in industrial applications where vibration, movement, and repeated actuation are common.

Despite its strength and durability, the holder is remarkably lightweight, with a net weight of just 9 g and a gross weight of 12 g. This lightweight design makes it easy to handle during installation while ensuring it adds no unnecessary load to the overall device assembly. Its simplicity and compactness contribute to efficient panel design, supporting both space-saving layouts and clean wiring practices.

The robust construction of the PIT ESH5 ensures long service life, even under continuous industrial operation. By providing a reliable structural framework, it reduces the risk of misalignment or loosening of contact blocks over time, enhancing both the safety and dependability of machine control systems. Its practical design also facilitates straightforward installation and replacement of contact blocks, supporting quick adjustments during maintenance or system reconfiguration.

One of the standout advantages of this holder is its role in supporting modular design concepts. By accommodating up to five contact blocks, it allows engineers to configure control devices in line with specific machine requirements. Whether an application calls for additional emergency stop contacts, selector switch stages, or auxiliary signalling functions, the PIT ESH5 provides the flexibility to expand and adapt.

As part of the broader Pilz control and signal device range, the PIT ESH5 integrates seamlessly into safety and automation architectures. When combined with Pilz safety relays, controllers, and operator interfaces, it contributes to creating reliable, standards-compliant machine control solutions.

In practical applications, the PIT ESH5 is valuable across industries such as manufacturing, packaging, automotive, and logistics—anywhere modular and expandable control devices are essential for safe and efficient operation.

In summary, the Pilz PIT ESH5 Holder for 5 Contact Blocks is a lightweight yet durable mounting accessory that enhances the flexibility and reliability of Pilz control and signal devices. With its secure design, modular adaptability, and ease of use, it offers engineers a simple but critical solution for building and maintaining safe, efficient, and scalable machine control systems.
