That means it handles the inrush and breaking current of a motor up to that power without welding contacts or excessive wear. For more severe switching (AC-4, plugging or inching), it carries a 15.5 A rating at 400 V.
The front face carries IP20 finger protection, so accidental contact during maintenance is prevented as long as the panel door is closed. This matters when designing the upstream protection — you size the fuse to clear a fault before the contactor welds shut. The coil is DC-operated with a closing and holding power of 5.4 W. That is a continuous-duty coil, so it stays energized without overheating — typical for applications where the contactor is held in for long periods.
Integration Notes
Width is 45 mm, side clearance 6 mm. Depth 101 mm, height 85 mm. The auxiliary contacts are rated for switching at various control voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. These ratings are for the auxiliary contact block, so if you are switching a PLC output or a relay coil, stay within these limits per the voltage you are using.
