The unit is rated for utilization categories AC-1, AC-3, and AC-4, with a specific AC-3 rating of 12 A at ≤440 V.
The AC-4 rating covers plugging and inching duty, so the contactor is rated for the higher switching frequency and electrical wear those operations demand. The 100 V AC coil means the control circuit must supply 100 V AC nominal; verify your control transformer or PLC output matches this voltage, as a mismatch will prevent pickup or cause coil burnout.
Physical Integration and Compliance
The contactor measures 90 mm wide by 58 mm high by 57 mm deep. These dimensions fit a standard DIN-rail footprint for the TeSys K form factor; plan for the depth when routing wiring behind the panel. The flame retardance rating is V1 per UL 94, and it also meets NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 requirements—relevant for rail or transit applications where fire-smoke-toxicity standards apply. Operating altitude is 2000 m without derating; above that, the dielectric withstand and thermal dissipation will need recalculation. The protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 for resistance to corrosive atmospheres.
