Product details

Rated for 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation, it carries AC-3 switching capacity at up to 1 000 operations per hour, making it suited for frequent motor starting in conveyor, pump, and fan duty.

The main current circuit uses screw-type terminals, accepting solid conductors 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) and stranded 2x (10... 50 mm²). That terminal range covers standard motor power wiring up to about 37 kW at 500 V and 18.6 kW at 690 V — the ratings that govern real motor branch circuits. IP20 on the front with cover or box terminal means the front face is touch-safe inside a closed panel; the terminal area itself is IP00, so it expects enclosure protection against dust and tools. Pollution degree 3 confirms it tolerates conductive dust in typical industrial environments.

Integration notes

Width is 70 mm, height 146 mm, depth 139 mm. Mechanical life typical is 10 000 000 operations; arcing time is 10 to 15 ms at AC, and the coil pickup time is 10 to 19 ms. These numbers matter when sequencing contactors in a reversing or star-delta starter — the overlap window is tight enough to avoid a shoot-through if the auxiliary contacts are correctly interlocked.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

Width 70 mm, height 146 mm, depth 139 mm. It mounts on 35 mm or 75 mm standard rail and supports side-by-side mounting.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

Solid conductors: 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²). Stranded conductors: 2x (10... 50 mm²). Also accepts 2x (2.5... 16 mm²) for solid or stranded.

What is the IP rating?

IP20 on the front with cover or box terminal; the terminal area itself is IP00. Pollution degree 3.
