It operates on a 30 V AC control circuit at 40-400 Hz, drawing 8 W of heat dissipation at steady state. Opening time spans 100-170 ms, closing time 40-65 ms, which sets the mechanical response window for the contactor it drives. The coil lacks a built-in suppressor module, so an external RC snubber or varistor is needed across the coil terminals if driving inductive loads or if the PLC output card requires suppression.
Control voltage limits and thermal derating
The coil holds in at 85-110% of rated Uc (25.5-33 V AC) and drops out between 35-55% of Uc (10.5-16.5 V AC) at 55 °C ambient. This dropout margin is generous — the contactor stays sealed through brownout conditions down to roughly 17 V AC, which matters for installations on long cable runs or shared control transformers. Maximum operating rate is 2400 cycles per hour at 55 °C, so continuous high-speed cycling (e.g., resistance welding or fast indexing) stays within the thermal limit. The 8 W dissipation figure is at rated voltage and frequency; panel builders should account for this when sizing enclosure ventilation, especially in sealed cabinets.
The TeSys range is widely stocked across the distribution network, so lead times are typically short for this active, non-obsolete part.
