Product details

It is a screw-fixed device rated for a vertical mounting surface, rotatable ±90° and tiltable ±22.5° front-to-back, which gives panel builders flexibility in enclosure layout. The main power terminals accept stranded conductors from 25 to 120 mm², while the auxiliary circuit terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm².

The AC-3 switching rate is 750 operations per hour maximum, and the AC-3e rating matches that figure — this is the duty cycle for standard squirrel-cage motor starting. For resistive loads (AC-1), the rate is 800 ops/h. For the most severe duty, AC-4 (plugging, inching, reversing), the rate drops to 130 ops/h, reflecting the higher thermal stress on the contacts during those operations. The auxiliary contact is rated for 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, and 1 A at 110 V — these are the switching capacities for the control circuit, not the main power path. The rated coil voltage is 500 to 550 V, and the power factor at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz is 0.8.

Dimensions are 120 mm width, 172 mm height, and 170 mm depth. The contactor is screw-fixed, not DIN-rail mounted. A single 9 mm diameter mounting hole is provided. The Size S6 frame means this is a physically large contactor — verify the enclosure depth can accommodate the 170 mm projection plus the 20 mm forward clearance before panel layout is finalized.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel fit?

Width is 120 mm, height is 172 mm, depth is 170 mm. Clearance required: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 10 mm at sides, 20 mm forwards.

What wire sizes does this contactor accept?

Main power terminals accept stranded 25-120 mm². Auxiliary terminals accept solid or stranded 0.5-4 mm² (2x 0.5-1.5 mm², 2x 0.75-2.5 mm², max 2x 0.75-4 mm²).
