Yes. The 1SBL297261R1400 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and can be screwed down with 2 x M4 screws diagonally to secure the unit in compact control panels, ensuring quick field installation and solid mechanical stability.
The device features a main circuit rated voltage of 690 V and operates at 50/60 Hz with 55 A AC-1 and 21.2 A AC-3 at 415–690 V depending on temperature. It also supports DC operation up to 500 V and offers 4 main NO contacts with 0 NC contacts, making it suitable for a wide range of motor control tasks.
Yes. The contactor carries UL/CSA approvals and CE-related conformity declarations, along with IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1 compliance, enabling safe usage across global markets and facilitating regulatory filings in equipment destined for multiple regions.
The 250–500 V AC/DC control voltage range reduces sensitivity to control-circuit voltage fluctuations, improving reliability, reducing nuisance tripping, and lowering energy consumption by stabilizing switch operations during voltage variations typical in rolling stock and industrial facilities.
Its block-design and add-on auxiliary contact blocks enable scalable signaling and interlocks without replacing the base unit. Combined with DIN-rail compatibility and compact 45 mm width, it lowers panel footprint, simplifies spare part management, and reduces total cost of ownership in medium- to large-scale automation projects.
