It carries three normally-open main contacts and zero NC mains, so it is wired as a dedicated make-switch for a single load, not a reversing or star-delta pair. The 10 A rating at 24 V rated value covers the resistive or lightly inductive load on the main poles at control voltage — useful when the contactor is switching heater banks or DC supplies in a panel.
The main contact wiring accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) — fine for the 10 A to 8.5 A range this contactor handles. AWG equivalents are 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), or 1x 12.
Environmental and Protection Ratings
These values are for the main circuit; the auxiliary contacts follow their own fuse sizing.
RoHS compliance is confirmed by the substance prohibitance date of 01 July 2006. The IEC 81346-2 reference code is Q, which designates switching devices in the equipment function classification.
