What the ratings mean for fit
This is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-3 duty at ≤440 V and 50 A — sized for switching motor loads up to that current. The coil is 415 V AC, 50 Hz. It also carries AC-3e and AC-1 utilisation categories, so it handles resistive loads as well. Mechanical dimensions are 114 mm deep, 75 mm wide, and 127 mm high, with mounting on plate or DIN rail. The IP2X degree of protection and TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3) suit it for panel environments with moderate contamination.
