The headline number here is the AC-2 rating: 15 kW at 400 V. That's the motor-switching current you design around, not the AC-1 resistive load. For AC-4 duty — plugging or inching — it handles 29 A at 400 V, which is a tougher thermal cycle. The mechanical life is typical at 10 million operations, but the switching frequency tells the real story: 1 200 cycles per hour on AC-1, 1 000 on AC-3, and only 250 on AC-4. If you're jogging a conveyor drive all shift, that AC-4 limit is the one that governs contactor life, not the mechanical number.
Wiring it up
That's enough for standard motor leads up to the 16 mm² minimum at 40 °C ambient. The screw terminals are straightforward for panel builders — no special tooling, just a good Pozidriv bit and the right torque.
