Product details

It is a 4-pole (4P) device rated for AC-7A and AC-7B utilisation categories, meaning it handles both resistive and lightly inductive loads — typical for contactor-duty applications like fan coils, pumps under 1 kW, and resistive heating banks. The control circuit is 110 V AC at 60 Hz, with a drop-out range of 0.2...0.75 Uc and an operating range of 0.85...1.1 Uc at 50 Hz.

The continuous thermal current (Ith) is 16 A at 50 Hz for the power circuit, with an average impedance of 2.5 mOhm, so the contactor is sized for a 16 A feeder. The associated fuse rating is 16 A gL at ≤ 440 V for the power circuit, which coordinates with the contactor's short-circuit withstand. Mechanical durability is 1,000,000 cycles; electrical durability is 100,000 cycles for both AC-7A and AC-7B duty — this is the wear life under rated load, not the mechanical cycle count.

Clip-on mounting on standard DIN rail (35 mm per EN 60715). The contactor occupies 2 modules of 18 mm width each (36 mm total), so it fits a standard 18 mm pitch DIN-rail terminal block layout. Height is 85 mm, depth 62.5 mm — shallow enough for most 100 mm deep enclosures. Screw-clamp terminals on both control and power circuits: control accepts up to 2 x 2.5 mm² flexible without cable end; power accepts up to 2 x 6 mm² flexible without cable end. Tightening torque is 0.8 N.m for both circuits. IP20 protection (in enclosure per VDE 0106) means it is not sealed against dust ingress — install in a panel with at least IP40 enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key standards this contactor complies with?

It complies with IEC 60947-5 and IEC 61095. The rated insulation voltage is 500 V per IEC 61095 and VDE 0110.

What is the operating time and maximum operating rate?

Opening time is 10...25 ms, closing time 10...30 ms. Maximum operating rate is 300 cycles per hour at 50 °C.

What is the heat dissipation?

1.6 W at 50/60 Hz for the coil, plus 0.65 W per pole for the power circuit.
