Its headline rating is 9 A in AC-3 utilization category at ≤440 V — that is the motor-switching current, covering starting and disconnecting squirrel-cage induction motors under load.
Mounts on a plate or DIN rail, with a 45 mm width footprint that fits standard panel spacing. The IP2X finger-protection rating means the contactor body is touch-safe inside an enclosure but is not sealed against dust or moisture — it belongs in a cabinet, not exposed to washdown. Operating altitude goes to 3000 m without derating, which covers most installations outside high-mountain sites.
The 1.5 ms non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is a safety feature: it guarantees that the normally-open and normally-closed auxiliary contacts never close simultaneously during coil energisation or de-energisation, preventing momentary short-circuits in interlocking circuits.
