Product details

Rated for AC-3 duty at 4.5 kW at 500 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V, it handles standard squirrel-cage induction motors up to those power levels. For AC-2 slip-ring motor duty, it's rated 4 kW at 400 V. The AC-4 reversing duty rating is 8.5 A at 400 V, which matters when you need frequent plugging or inching.

The main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, or 2x AWG 24 to 14. No screwdriver needed for the power connections — strip, push, done.

Environmental and protection

Rated pollution degree 3, meaning it's suitable for industrial atmospheres with conductive dust or condensation. IP20 on the front and terminals — finger-safe but not washdown-rated, so keep it inside the enclosure.

For type 1 coordination (contactor may need replacement after fault), use 35 A gL/gG fuses. Mechanical endurance is typical 30 million operations, so this is a fast mover for high-cycle applications like conveyors or packaging lines.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key motor ratings for this contactor?

AC-3 duty: 4.5 kW at 500 V, 5.5 kW at 690 V. AC-2 duty: 4 kW at 400 V. AC-4 reversing duty: 8.5 A at 400 V. The 24 V DC coil draws 10 A at rated voltage.

What wire sizes does the spring-loaded terminal accept?

The main circuit terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x AWG 24 to 14. No ferrule required for stranded, but recommended for fine-stranded wire.

Can I mount this contactor side-by-side with others?

Yes, side-by-side mounting is permitted with no spacing required. The 45 mm width and 73 mm depth allow zero-gap stacking on DIN rail without derating.

What fuse ratings are needed for type 2 coordination?

For type 2 coordination (no damage after short circuit), use gL/gG fuses rated 20 A. For type 1 coordination (contactor may need replacement), use 35 A gL/gG fuses.
