The AC-3 rating at 16 A (≤440 V) tells you it handles standard squirrel-cage motor starting: inrush during start and break at standstill. The coil is wound for 400-415 V AC 50/60 Hz, so it needs a control supply in that band — not 24 VDC, not 230 V. The preassembled reversing busbar means the mechanical and electrical interlock is already done; it mounts as one piece on the DIN rail.
Where it goes and what it connects to
This contactor lands in a control panel — DIN-rail mounted, IP20 fingersafe per VDE 0106. The 3 NO main poles switch the motor lines; the single NO auxiliary contact (1 NO) signals the reversing state back to the PLC or indicator. Flame retardance V1 per UL 94 means it won't propagate a panel fire.
