It carries a 24 VDC coil and uses spring-type terminals for the main and control wiring, which simplifies panel wiring and reduces maintenance compared to screw terminals. Rated for motor duty at 2 hp on a 230 V supply, the contactor handles the inrush and running current of small induction motors — typical for pumps, fans, and conveyors in a production line. The main contact configuration is 18...8 A, meaning the normally-open main poles are rated for that current range under AC-3 duty. Switching times are 15...17.5 ms for DC operation, with an arcing time of 10...10 ms — fast enough for most sequencing applications but worth noting if your safety circuit requires a specific off-delay.
The Size S0 footprint — 45 mm wide, 102 mm tall, 154 mm deep — fits standard enclosure layouts; plan for the depth when routing wiring behind the panel. Spring-type terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 1 to 10 mm², or two conductors of 0.5 to 2.5 mm² each. No special tools beyond a screwdriver for the spring release — faster to wire than screw clamps and less prone to loosening under vibration.
Duty Ratings and Thermal Limits
Switching frequency reaches 1 000 operating cycles per hour under AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, and AC-3e duty, and 300 cycles per hour under AC-4 (plugging/inching). The operating factor has an initial value of 0.8 and a full-scale value of 1.1. The contactor has no built-in auxiliary switch, so if you need feedback contacts for a PLC input or status indication, you will need to add a separate auxiliary contact block that fits the S0 frame.
