It protects three-phase motor circuits against overload and phase failure, and its 3-pole main current circuit with screw-type terminals is sized for panel integration on a DIN rail or stand-alone mounting. CLASS 10 trip characteristic. The S00 frame keeps the footprint compact: 45 mm wide, 87 mm tall, 78 mm deep, with zero clearance required upwards, forwards, backwards, and downwards, and only 6 mm to the side — so it packs tight against adjacent devices in a crowded panel.
The auxiliary contact block switches 1 A at 24 V, 3 A at 120 V, 2 A at 230 V, and 1 A at 400 V — these are the rated thermal currents for the N/O and N/C contacts. For a 24 VDC PLC input, the 1 A rating is more than adequate; at 120 VAC control circuits the 3 A rating covers most contactor coils and pilot lights without an interposing relay. Power dissipation is 1.6 W per pole, totaling 4.8 W across all three poles at rated current. That's low enough to skip forced ventilation in most enclosures, but if the relay is stacked between other heat sources in a sealed box, check the internal temperature rise against the -20 to +70 °C operating range. The relay accepts solid and finely stranded conductors: 2× (0.5…1.5 mm²) or 2× (0.75…2.5 mm²) per terminal, with ferruled ends supported. For the main circuit, AWG 20–14 (single) and AWG 12 are listed. This covers standard motor leads and control wiring up to 2.5 mm² without needing adapter lugs. IP20 front protection is finger-safe when installed in a closed enclosure.
Deployment context
Mount on a vertical surface; rotate ±135° or tilt ±45° forward/backward. Stand-alone installation is the default fastening method. Shock resistance is 8g for 10 ms, so it holds calibration on a machine tool or conveyor line with moderate vibration. The -20 to +70 °C operating range and 100 % relative humidity (condensing) cover unheated plant floors and washdown zones as long as the IP20 front is inside a sealed cabinet. The ATEX certification (DMT 98 ATEX G 001) means the relay can be used in potentially explosive gas atmospheres when installed in an appropriate enclosure — relevant for chemical, oil & gas, or grain-handling applications where motor protection must not become an ignition source.
RoHS compliance date is 07/01/2006, meaning the design meets the EU RoHS directive since that date. No separate UL or CSA listing appears in the evidence, but the ATEX certification and IEC reference code (F per IEC 81346-2) indicate it is designed for international use.
