It carries a 480 V AC-3 rating of 11 A, which is the real-world number you use when sizing it for a three-phase induction motor — that 11 A governs the contactor's life under full-load starts, not some resistive bench test. It mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail per EN 60715, with screw and snap-on fastening, and the mounting position is forgiving: you can rotate it ±180° on a vertical surface or tilt it ±22.5° forward and backward, which helps when you're shoehorning it into a crowded enclosure.
AC-3 switching at 480 V is the headline: 11 A means this contactor handles a motor drawing about 7.5 hp at that voltage, factoring in inrush. The AC-3 duty cycle maxes out at 1,000 operations per hour, which covers most conveyor, pump, and fan applications without breaking a sweat. For the main contacts, you're looking at AWG 16 to 8 roughly, which is standard for this frame class. That -25 °C low end means it's fine for unheated plant spaces in most climates, but if you're in a deep-freeze warehouse, you'll want to verify the coil pick-up at the actual ambient.
