4755 >> Contactors
Four-pole design with four normally open main contacts enables reliable multi-phase switching up to 690 V. This consolidation reduces panel clutter and installation time for complex motor circuits. It is well suited to motor starters in conveyors, pumps, and machine tools where reliability matters. Coil voltage is 110 V AC (50/60 Hz) with defined power draw—pull-in 70 VA (50 Hz) and 66 VA (60 Hz); holding 8 VA—minimizing control circuit load and heat in the cabinet. Screw terminals on main and control circuits provide secure, vibration-resistant connections with a wide wire range (main: 1/2 x 16 mm² ferrule; control: 0.75–2.5 mm²); tightening torques are 2.5 N·m and 1.2 N·m respectively. DIN rail mounting TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 enables fast, standard-compliant installation, with optional screws (2x M4) for fixed mounting. The block design supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks and accessories for scalable control; IP20 protection, Ui 690 V, and Uimp 6 kV enhance reliability in industrial cabinets. Operating times range from 9–26 ms depending on coil energization, enabling responsive motor starting and stopping.

FAQs
Mount on a standard DIN rail using TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails, or screw mounting with two M4 screws. Connect the main circuit with flexible ferrule 1/2x16 mm² (or 16 mm² solid) and the control circuit with 0.75–2.5 mm². Tighten main terminals to 2.5 N·m and control terminals to 1.2 N·m. Coils are 110 V AC (50/60 Hz) and the terminal IP20 rated.
Main circuit rated up to 690 V with 4 NO contacts; AC-1 current up to 45 A (40 °C) or 40 A (60 °C); AC-3 up to 23–21.2 A depending on voltage; control circuit 110 V AC; Ui 690 V and Uimp 6 kV.
Yes. It carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance, CE and UKCA declarations, UL/CSA listings, and supporting BV/CB/RINA certificate compatibility per the AF contactor family.
Ideal for motor control in conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tooling where 4 NO poles are required. Compatible with add-on auxiliary blocks for expanded control logic and PLC integration.
Low coil power loss (1.6 W per pole AC-1; 0.42 W per pole AC-3) reduces heat and energy use. The compact block design simplifies wiring and spares cabinet space, while the extendable accessories support scalable, longer-term uptime and lower replacement costs.
