Product details

It carries a 24 VDC magnet coil terminated with screw-type terminals and includes an auxiliary switch block. The contactor mounts via screw or snap-on onto a 35 mm DIN rail per EN 60715, and the mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface plus ±22.5° tilt forward or backward — useful when you're fitting it into a crowded enclosure and need some angle play.

This contactor is sized for AC-3 motor duty at 850 switching cycles per hour maximum, with a mechanical endurance of 10 million operations typical. For resistive loads (AC-1) it's rated at 900 1/h; for the harder AC-4 inching/jogging duty it drops to 250 1/h. The auxiliary contact ratings span from 10 A at 24 V up to 20 hp at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V — enough to drive a small contactor coil or a PLC input directly without an interposing relay. Wire range for the power circuit accepts solid 2.5 to 16 mm² and stranded 6 to 70 mm², so it'll take a #10 AWG feed easily and still handle a #2 AWG motor lead if you're running a long feeder.

Deployment context

The DIN-rail snap-on mounting means it integrates directly into a standard 35 mm rail inside a motor control center or panel enclosure. The 70 mm width and 152 mm depth fit a typical 600 mm deep enclosure without crowding the wiring gutter. The screw terminals are field-wirable with common tools — no special crimp dies needed for the power leads.
