Product details

It's rated AC-3 ≤ 440 V at 16 A and carries a 127 V AC coil, with one NC auxiliary contact built in. The AC-3 and AC-4 utilisation categories mean it's sized for motor switching (starting, stopping, plugging, inching) on squirrel-cage induction motors, not just resistive loads.

Maximum operating altitude is 2000 m without derating. The contactor is rated for shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6: it withstands 10 Gn on Y and Z axes (contactor closed) and 4 Gn vibration closed across 5–300 Hz. That makes it usable on mobile equipment or in panels near rotating machinery.

The contactor measures 57 mm deep, 90 mm wide, and 58 mm high. The depth of 57 mm keeps it within the clearance of typical 80 mm deep enclosures.
