Spring-loaded terminals on the main current circuit accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG). No screwdriver needed for the power connections — good for quick swaps in a live panel if the line's down.
Ratings that matter for the panel
The contactor carries motor loads: at AC-2 duty at 400 V it's rated for 5.5 kW, and at AC-4 at 400 V the operating current is 8.5 A. For resistive loads (AC-12), the maximum operating current is 10 A at 24 V. The DC switching ratings drop off fast: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V — so if you're switching DC solenoids, watch the voltage curve.
Side-by-side mounting is permitted, which saves rail space when you need multiple contactors in a row. The front has IP20 finger protection; the terminals also carry IP20.
