Feature → Business Impact → Application: The device offers a wide control circuit voltage range of 100–250 V at 50/60 Hz and DC operation, which reduces panel voltage stress and improves reliability in networks with fluctuations. This translates to fewer nuisance trippings and smoother startup sequences for conveyors, pumps, and lighting controls in manufacturing lines. Application-wise, the 4-pole, 4NO main contact design delivers reliable power switching for UL lighting installations and general machinery control. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Screw terminals and rated main circuit voltage of 690 V enable solid, vibration-resistant connections and straightforward field wiring for panel assemblies. This reduces commissioning time and enhances maintenance efficiency in high-demand environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in surge protection and compact block design allow easy extension with auxiliary contact blocks and a broad range of accessories, enabling scalable automation architectures without increasing footprint. Feature → Business Impact → Application: DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 and TH35-7.5) plus options for screw mounting provide flexible installation in control panels, control cabinets, and machine builds. This supports quick retrofits and standardized mounting across multiple lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL/CSA standards, plus CB and CE/UKCA declarations, reduces regulatory risk and simplifies supplier qualification for international projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Coarse and fine-grain wiring options (main circuit and control circuit) with rated insulation voltage of 690 V and 6 kV impulse withstand enhance safety margins and protect equipment across diverse industrial environments.

It supports TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails per IEC 60715. For permanent mounting, you can also use two M4 screws diagonally, which are supplied by the user. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant installation suitable for compact control panels.
The control circuit accepts 100–250 V at 50/60 Hz or DC operation. This wide range accommodates voltage variations in industrial networks and supports reliable coil energization without frequent relays replacement.
Yes. The main circuit is rated up to 690 V, with insulation up to 690 V and a robust 4P NO configuration. It is designed for UL lighting control and heavy-duty general-purpose switching in industrial environments.
It conforms to IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 (LZGH2 A2L), UL 508, CSA standards, and carries CE and UKCA declarations, plus a CB certificate, supporting global compliance and qualification.
Expect coil power loss around 2.3 W per pole (AC-1) and 0.42 W per pole (AC-3), which translates to moderate running losses. Use proper torque values (main circuit 2.5 N·m, control circuit 1.2 N·m) and wire sizes as specified to minimize maintenance and maximize lifespan in continuous operation environments.
