Product details

Rated for AC-7A (resistive/lighting) and AC-7B (motor) utilisation categories, it handles the inrush and switching duty typical of contactors feeding lamps, fan coils, or small pumps. The control coil is 220-240 V AC at 60 Hz, with a dropout threshold of 0.2-0.75 Uc and an operational range of 0.85-1.1 Uc at 50 Hz below 50 °C.

Integration notes

The 17.5 mm width (one 18 mm module) means it fits in a standard distribution board or sub-panel alongside MCBs and RCDs. Screw-clamp terminals on both power and control circuits accept up to 6 mm² flexible or solid on the power side; torque to 0.8 N.m. The white housing is standard for the TeSys GC range, making visual identification in a panel straightforward. Heat dissipation is 1.3 W at 50/60 Hz, and power dissipation per pole is 1.6 W. In a sealed enclosure with multiple contactors, factor that into the thermal budget to avoid derating.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the GC2502M6?

It is a 2-pole modular contactor with a 220-240 V AC 60 Hz control coil. Breaking capacity is 68 A at 400 V per IEC 61095. It is rated for AC-7A and AC-7B utilisation categories, covering lighting, resistive heating, and motor control up to 25 A (associated fuse rating).
