Rated for AC-3 duty at 750 switching cycles per hour, this contactor handles the repetitive inrush of induction motors on conveyors, pumps, and compressors. The AC-1 resistive load rating goes to 1 000 cycles/h, while AC-4 (plugging/reversing) is limited to 250 cycles/h — a useful derating guide if you are jogging or inching a load.
That 6 mm side gap is tight; if you are packing multiple contactors in a row, verify the auxiliary block width before finalizing the rail layout. The main contact terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² — enough for the load-side motor leads on a Size S00 contactor.
Mounting flexibility and operating conditions
The storage limit is broader because the part is not energized — handling and shipping conditions are what that lower bound governs.
