It carries a 24 VDC coil rated at 10 A and includes an auxiliary switch.
For a PLC or relay output driving this coil, verify the output can handle the 10 A peak — many solid-state outputs are rated lower and would need an interposing relay. Switching frequency varies by duty: up to 1 000 operations per hour at AC-1 (resistive loads), 750/h at AC-3 (standard motor starting), and 250/h at AC-4 (plugging or inching). For a conveyor line running frequent start/stop cycles, the AC-4 limit governs the service life. In a non-conditioned cabinet near a furnace or compressor, the 60 °C ceiling is the hard limit — the contactor must be derated or relocated if ambient exceeds that.
