Feature → Business Impact → Application: Four NO main contacts ensure robust power switching for motors and conveyors, reducing contact wear and downtime in high-demand lines; enables reliable AC-1 and AC-3 operation up to 45 A at 690 V, improving system availability in manufacturing zones. Feature → Application: coil options for 50 Hz and 60 Hz supply maintain consistent control timing across regions, simplifying global engineering deployments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: compact 45 mm width and 101 mm depth with IP20 protection fit tight control panels, enabling DIN-rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and quick installation in new or retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: screw terminals and defined wire capacities (0.75–16 mm² control/main) streamline wiring, reduce assembly time, and improve maintenance efficiency. Feature → Business Impact → Application: low coil power (8 V·A holding, 70/66 V·A pull-in) lowers energy consumption across duty cycles, contributing to lower operational costs in automation sequences and batch processes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: fast operate times (9–26 ms) and high mechanical switching frequency (3600 cycles/hour) enable precise, repeatable control in high-speed manufacturing lines, conveyors, and material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: wide insulation voltage (690 V) and comprehensive safety certifications support compliance with IEC/EN and UL standards, reducing risk during design reviews and audits.

FAQs
This block contactor supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 profiles and can be screwed to a panel using 2x M4 screws. It also features screw terminals for main and control circuits, making it versatile for new installations or retrofits in control cabinets.
Coil voltage is 220-230 V AC at 50 Hz or 230-240 V AC at 60 Hz. The main circuit is rated for up to 690 V insulation and operation, with 4 NO main contacts to switch power loads efficiently; coil consumption varies by operating state, balancing performance and energy use.
Yes. For AC-3 loads at 230 V, the device provides 23.2 A at 60 °C, with up to 10.5 A at 690 V under 60 °C. It also supports AC-1 up to 45 A at 690 V. Rated power for AC-3 ranges up to 11 kW at 400–415 V, enabling reliable motor starting under typical industrial conditions.
The product carries CE and UKCA declarations, UL/CSA listings, and CB/BV/DNV/RINA-style certifications, reflecting IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance. These certifications support global market access, meet safety and performance requirements, and simplify regulatory approvals in multinational manufacturing environments.
Low coil power consumption (holding 8 V·A; pull-in 66–70 V·A) reduces ongoing energy costs, while the 4-pole design and durable ratings minimize wear in high-cycle applications. With 9–26 ms operate times and a 3600 h mechanical switching frequency, you gain reliable control and potential downtime reductions, improving overall return on investment in motor control systems.
