Product details

Rated at 37 kW at 500 V and 18.6 kW at 690 V, this contactor handles typical three-phase induction motors in the 30–40 kW range on a 400 V line. Mechanical life is typical 10,000,000 operations. Side-by-side mounting is allowed.

RoHS compliance is dated 05/01/2012, meaning it meets the EU directive for restriction of hazardous substances.

The AC-4 rating at 55 A is the heavy-duty number for plugging or inching; if your application does frequent reversing, that's the rating to size against, not the AC-3 figure. At 24 V DC the contactor can switch 10 A, but at 220 V DC that drops to 0.3 A — the DC switching capability is limited by arc extinction. If you're switching a DC load above a few amps, verify the voltage against the curve; this is primarily an AC switching device. In a washdown environment, you'd need an enclosure around it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the physical size and mounting?

Dimensions are 146 mm height, 70 mm width, 201 mm depth. It mounts via screw and snap-on onto 35 mm or 75 mm standard DIN rail. Side-by-side mounting is permitted.

What wire sizes does it accept?

Solid wire: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). Stranded: 2x (10 to 50 mm²) for the main circuit. Terminals are screw-type.
