FAQs
This 4-pole block contactor supports TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 DIN rails for quick, secure mounting. Wiring uses screw terminals for the main circuit and control circuit, with recommended conductor sizes of 0.75 to 6 mm² for main and 0.75 to 2.5 mm² for auxiliary/control circuits. When wiring, follow the product’s rated IP20 protection and corrosion-safe terminal guidelines to ensure reliable connections and easy thermal management inside panels.
Key ratings include a 690 V rated insulation voltage, 30 A rated operational current (IEC AC-1 at 40 °C), and 18 A or 10.5 A for AC-3 at various voltages. The device supports 50/60 Hz operation in both main and auxiliary circuits, with a maximum mechanical switching frequency of 3600 cycles per hour and a practical electrical switching frequency of up to 600 cycles per hour in AC-1 scenarios.
Yes, it is suitable for AC-1 and transitional AC-3 duty in motor control applications up to 30 A. Its 4 NO main contacts, compact form factor, and DIN-rail mounting make it ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans. For continuous operations, ensure ambient temperature, derating (up to 3000 m altitude without derating), and installation clearances meet the IEC/EN 60947-4-1 guidelines.
The product complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1, UL 60947-4-1, CAN/CSA requirements, and is supported by CE and UKCA declarations. Additional BV and CB certificates attest to global safety and reliability, making it suitable for multi-market deployments and OEM supply chains.
The 4-pole design with screw terminals and standardized mounting reduces maintenance time and wiring errors during servicing. Low coil power loss (0.35–1.2 W per pole depending on mode) minimizes heat, extending component life. Regular inspection of connections, conformity to torque specs, and adherence to enclosure IP20 protection help sustain reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
