The spring-loaded terminals on the main current circuit accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, which saves time during panel wiring compared to screw terminals — no torquing, just strip and insert.
The coil draws 4.4 V·A at 50 Hz and 0.27 A at 60 Hz, so the control transformer or PLC output driving it needs to supply that inrush without voltage sag. The 24 VDC coil holds in at 10 A rated value, meaning it can switch a 10 A DC load at 24 V — typical for solenoid valves or DC motor brakes in a machine tool. The 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage on the main circuit means it handles surge events common in industrial environments without flashover. Auxiliary contacts are rated 12 A per NO and per NC contact, giving you headroom for pilot lights, PLC inputs, or interlocking relays. The mechanical life of 30,000,000 operations is typical for a size S00 contactor — it will outlast the machine's service life in most cyclic applications.
The contactor measures 45 mm wide, 60 mm high, and 72 mm deep, so it occupies one standard 45 mm DIN-rail slot.
For a critical spare, this is the part to hold — one in the cabinet before it fails.
