It carries a 6 A rating in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at operational voltages up to 440 V, with a 380 V AC 60 Hz coil and one normally-closed auxiliary contact.
The AC-3 rating of 6 A at ≤440 V is what governs motor switching — this contactor handles a 3-phase induction motor drawing up to 6 A under full-load starting conditions. The AC-3e rating extends that to energy-efficient motors with higher inrush. The 380 V AC 60 Hz coil means this contactor is designed for North American or other 60 Hz supply systems at that voltage. The 1NC auxiliary contact provides a feedback path for status monitoring or interlocking without needing an add-on block. The IP2X finger protection means it's safe for open-panel use but not washdown environments.
Operating altitude is 3000 m without derating, and the permissible ambient temperature range is -20 to 70 °C at the coil rated voltage, with storage from -60 to 80 °C.
Lifecycle Reality and Sourcing
Because there is no official successor order code, any substitution requires a parametric cross-check: the replacement must match the 3-pole, 6 A AC-3, 380 V 60 Hz coil, and 1NC auxiliary contact configuration. A standard TeSys D or TeSys Deca contactor with the same coil voltage and aux contact could work, but the mounting footprint and terminal layout should be verified against the panel cutout.
