The coil is 24 VDC rated at 6 A, with a screw-type terminal connection. The contactor carries a mechanical life of 10 million operations typical, and is rated for 1000 switching cycles per hour under AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, and AC-3e duty, dropping to 300 cycles/h under AC-4.
The AC-3 switching capacity at 1000 cycles/h is the rating that governs motor starting duty — this contactor handles the inrush and breaking of induction motors within that cycle limit. Main contact wire range accepts solid or stranded conductors from 1 to 10 mm², with auxiliary contact terminals accepting 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²). The arcing time is specified at 10 ms, and the switching time at AC is 4 to 16 ms. These are the minimum air gaps required around the contactor for proper arc extinction and heat dissipation — important when laying out a dense DIN rail assembly.
