Product details

That simplifies the DC supply sizing in the panel: budget 3.3 W continuous per contactor.

Rated at 10 A for AC-12 duty (resistive loads) and 8.5 A for AC-4 duty (plugging/inching of motors) at 400 V, this contactor handles frequent switching of motor loads up to 4.5 kW at 500 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V. The auxiliary contact ratings cover 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V, so the same contactor can switch both the motor power and a control signal without a separate auxiliary block for many applications.

Wiring and mounting details

Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) — or AWG equivalents 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), and 1x 12. That covers most panel wiring from signal-level up to 4 mm² power feeds. Dimensions are 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm high, and 72 mm deep — the S00 footprint. Front protection is IP20, which means finger-safe but not sealed against dust or water — standard for inside a cabinet.

For a BOM line that needs this exact order code, the fit is confirmed by the frame size S00, 24 VDC coil, and screw terminals. The AC-3 and AC-4 ratings above let you verify it matches your motor load without guessing.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

The contactor is 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm high, and 72 mm deep. Side-by-side mounting requires 6 mm spacing at the side.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The main circuit terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). AWG equivalents are 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), and 1x 12.

What is the coil power consumption?

Both closing and holding power are 3.3 W DC. There is no separate inrush vs. hold distinction — it's a single-wattage coil.
