The utilisation categories are AC-7A and AC-7B, meaning it is suited for switching motor loads, lighting, and heating circuits.
The AC-7A and AC-7B categories cover motor starting and switching of resistive/inductive loads respectively; the electrical durability is 100,000 cycles for both, which is typical for a modular contactor in a panel. The control coil draws 34 VA inrush at 50 Hz and dissipates 1.6 W holding, so factor that into your control transformer sizing. The drop-out voltage range is 0.2 to 0.75 Uc, meaning the coil releases reliably at low voltage — important for undervoltage protection schemes.
Screw clamp terminals on both control and power circuits; torque to 0.8 N.m. Power circuit accepts up to 6 mm² flexible or solid wire. The contactor is IP20 finger-safe out of the enclosure, IP40 when installed in a suitable cabinet. Operating position can be up to 30° from vertical. The protective treatment is TC (tropicalised coating), so it handles humidity better than a standard untreated contactor.
