Product details

What this contactor is and who it's for

The 48 VDC coil pulls 10 A at pickup and holds at 3.3 W, with a pick-up threshold of 0.85x rated voltage and drop-out at 1.1x — meaning it reliably engages at 40.8 V and stays sealed until the supply rises above 52.8 V. For motor switching in AC-2 duty at 400 V, it handles 4 kW, which covers small pumps and fans. For resistive loads (AC-1), it switches 6 A at 230 V and 3 A at 400 V. The AC-12 maximum operating current is 10 A, so it can also serve as a coupler for PLC outputs driving smaller contactor coils.

Termination and wiring

Main circuit connections use spring-loaded terminals accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.25 to 1.5 mm²) fine-stranded with ferrules, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG). The IP20 protection on the front and terminals means it's safe for finger contact inside a closed panel.

For Type 1 coordination (no damage but may need replacement after a fault), use a 35 A gL/gG fuse. For Type 2 coordination (no welding and immediate reuse), use a 20 A gL/gG fuse.

Frequently asked questions

What conductor sizes does the spring terminal accept?

Solid conductors: 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²). Fine-stranded with ferrules: 2x (0.25 to 1.5 mm²). AWG: 2x (24 to 14).

Can this contactor be mounted side-by-side without gaps?

Yes, side-by-side mounting is permitted with zero side clearance required, so you can pack units directly adjacent on the DIN rail.

What fuse sizes are recommended for short-circuit coordination?

Type 1 coordination: 35 A gL/gG. Type 2 coordination: 20 A gL/gG.
