It's rated for 5.5 kW motor switching at AC-2 duty, 400 V — that's the operating curve for slip-ring motors or moderate inductive loads, not just resistive heating. The coil pulls 3.3 W on both pick-up and hold, so the DC supply doesn't need a separate economy resistor. Drop-out is clean; no residual magnetism issues at this power level.
AC-2 covers starting and plugging of slip-ring motors; if your load is a standard squirrel-cage motor, you'd typically use the AC-3 rating instead, but this contactor's AC-3 data isn't listed here. The AC-12 maximum operating current is 10 A — that's the resistive/control circuit limit, not the motor contact rating. Auxiliary contact ratings span the common control voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 1 A at 110 V. For short-circuit protection, Type 1 coordination calls for a 35 A gL/gG fuse; Type 2 requires 20 A. That's the difference between allowing the contactor to be damaged vs. protecting it for reuse after a fault — specify Type 2 if downtime for replacement matters. IP20 on the front and terminals means finger-safe but not washdown-rated. Electrical life will be lower and depends on the switching load and frequency.
Physical dimensions are 45 mm wide, 60 mm high, 72 mm deep — fits the standard S00 footprint. The spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (0.25 to 1.5 mm²) with ferrules. AWG equivalent is 2x (24 to 14).
