FAQs
The unit supports TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails for quick mounting. Ensure the rail is clean and level, snap the contactor into place, and secure with the provided fitment or the recommended mounting hardware. Use 2x M4 screws if mounting to a panel, and verify proper clearance around adjacent devices to prevent overheating.
For AC-3, the device handles up to 18 A at typical voltages like 415–440 V and 690 V per the datasheet. For DC-13, the ratings include lower currents at higher voltages (e.g., around 0.27–0.55 A at higher DC voltages). Always consult the table for exact Ie values at the target voltage to ensure safe operation.
Yes. It complies with IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and IEC 60947-1, and carries UL 60335-2-40/CSA certifications, providing safety, reliability, and global interchangeability for household appliances and industrial drives alike. This makes it suitable for multinational installations requiring harmonized standards.
Best suited for motor control in compact automation panels, conveyors, pumps, and packaging lines where reversing functionality is needed. The three-pole, dual auxiliary contacts configuration supports interlocking, sequencing, and compact start/stop control, reducing panel size and wiring complexity while delivering reliable switching performance.
Benefits include reduced wiring and panel space, lower installation time, and energy-efficient operation with low coil power. Maintenance is simplified thanks to screw-terminal connections and DIN rail mounting, enabling faster replacements. The device also meets global safety certifications, reducing risk and downtime across multinational facilities.
