The 55 mm width and 112 mm height keep it compact for dense panel layouts. Rated for AC-2 duty at 15 kW on a 400 V 50/60 Hz supply, this contactor handles wound-rotor motors or other loads where the inrush is moderate but the switching frequency is regular.
Terminal wiring and auxiliary contact capacity
Main circuit terminals accept solid conductors from 2x 0.5 mm² up to max 2x 4 mm², and stranded up to 2x 25 mm². The screw-type terminals are rated IP00 at the connection point, while the front face carries IP20 for basic finger-safe touch protection inside the enclosure. The built-in auxiliary contacts are rated for 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V — enough to drive a PLC input or a small relay directly, but verify the load type against the AC/DC curve if switching an inductive load like a contactor coil.
Environmental limits and switching endurance
Switching frequency limits: 1200 cycles/hour at AC-1 (resistive), 1000 at AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor), 750 at AC-2, and 250 at AC-4 (plugging/inching). For a takt-time line running 10-second cycles, AC-3 stays well under the 1000/h ceiling — holds takt time without margin concerns.
