Product details

It mounts on 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715 via screw or snap-on, with a footprint of 55 mm wide by 114 mm tall by 130 mm deep — fits into a standard panel cutout without modification. The coil is rated for 24 V at 50 Hz, and the switching contact arrangement is a 3-pole main contact configuration (18...1 — typically NO/NC coding). Mechanical life clocks in at 10 million operations, so it holds up in high-cycling applications like conveyor zones or packaging lines.

What the Cycling Ratings Mean

Maximum operating frequency varies by duty: AC-1 (resistive) allows up to 700 operations per hour, AC-3 (standard motor start) 500 1/h, and AC-4 (plugging/inching) 150 1/h. That directly governs the thermal rise and contact wear — a conveyor zone doing frequent start-stop under load is an AC-3 scenario, so the 500 1/h ceiling is the real limit; don't size by the AC-1 number.
