Both the main current circuit and the auxiliary/control circuit use spring-loaded terminals, accepting 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors, or 2x (24... 14) AWG. Ambient temperature range for operation is -25 to +60 °C.
Motor Load Ratings and Coordination
For AC-4 duty at 400 V, the rated operational current is 8.5 A. These are the figures that govern motor switching capability — the AC-1 resistive rating is higher, but for induction motor loads, AC-2/AC-4 is the relevant curve. With type of coordination 2 required, the upstream protection is a gL/gG fuse rated 20 A. For type 1 coordination, the fuse rating is 35 A. This determines the short-circuit protection the contactor can withstand without welding its contacts. Auxiliary contact ratings: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.3 A at 220 V — these are the switching capacities for the control circuit, not the main power path.
Mounting and Enclosure Integration
The 45 mm width, 60 mm height, and 114 mm depth fit the standard S00 footprint. Side-by-side mounting is permitted, so multiple contactors can be ganged without spacing gaps. IP20 on the front and at the terminals — suitable for installation inside a closed control panel where no washdown or dust ingress protection is required at the device level.
