Part overview and key rating
Its headline rating is 16 A at ≤440 V AC in AC-3, which means it handles the starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors up to that current — the AC-3 category covers making and breaking motor loads under normal running conditions, so this rating tells you the contactor can switch the locked-rotor current of a motor sized for 16 A full-load.
The contactor withstands shock and vibration per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6 — closed contacts survive 10 to 15 Gn shocks depending on axis, which is relevant for mounting on mobile equipment or near rotating machinery.
