Product details

Its headline rating is 160 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤440 V, meaning it switches three-phase induction motors up to that current under full load — the AC-3 rating is the one that governs motor starting and stopping, not the higher AC-1 resistive rating.

Mounts on either a DIN rail or a plate, giving flexibility for new builds or retrofit into existing enclosures. Dimensions are 158 mm high by 120 mm wide by 132 mm deep — measure the backpanel clearance, especially if the enclosure depth is tight. The IP2X degree of protection means the contactor is finger-safe but not sealed; it belongs inside a cabinet, not in a washdown zone.

Standards, environmental limits, and compliance

Operates without derating up to 3000 m altitude, and the permissible ambient range is -5 to 55 °C running, -20 to 70 °C at the coil terminals, with storage from -60 to 80 °C.

Frequently asked questions
