The 24 VDC coil pulls in at 10 A rated operating current — that's the continuous carry rating for the main contacts in AC-12 duty, not the motor-starting current. For motor loads, the AC-3 rating at 400 V is what governs selection; this contactor's AC-3 rating isn't listed here, so size it by the motor FLA, not the 10 A figure.
Main current circuit uses spring-loaded terminals accepting 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (24... 14 AWG). The spring-cage design speeds panel wiring — no screw torque to verify, just strip to 8 mm and insert. The auxiliary contact block (1 N/O instantaneous) shares the same terminal style.
Environmental and ratings
The coil operating range is 0.8... 1.1 × rated voltage at 50 Hz and 0.85... 1.1 at 60 Hz, so the 24 VDC coil holds in from about 19.2 V to 26.4 VDC. The contactor's typical mechanical endurance is 30 million operations.
