Rated for continuous operation per IEC 60947-6-2, it handles motor starting and protection in one package, with an adjustable trip class (CLASS 10 and 20) so you can match the thermal curve to the motor's starting characteristic — CLASS 10 for fast-starting loads like pumps, CLASS 20 for higher-inertia loads like conveyors.
Control voltage accepts 110…240 V AC/DC, so it works on both AC and DC control circuits without a separate rectifier — one part number covers both supply types across 50/60 Hz. Power dissipation is low — 6 W AC max, 5.1 W DC max — meaning minimal heat buildup inside a sealed enclosure; no derating needed for closely packed DIN-rail rows in a standard panel. The spring-loaded terminals on the main current circuit accept 2x (0.25…1.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, so you can land motor leads and control wiring without lug crimping — strip, insert, release.
