FAQs
The BC6-40-00 is designed for TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 DIN rails and uses screw terminals, enabling straightforward panel mounting and secure wiring. It supports flexible conductor sizes and offers a compact footprint suitable for crowded control cabinets. This makes retrofits and new installations faster while ensuring reliable electrical connections and easy inspection.
This mini contactor features 4 NO contacts (4P) with a main circuit rated up to 690 V AC and 24 V DC coil. It delivers AC-3 operation up to 4 kW at 400 V and 20 A at lower voltages, with a 10 million cycle mechanical life. The coil consumes about 3.5 W on hold and pull-in, balancing efficiency with reliable actuation.
Yes. With 4-pole configuration, 24 V DC coil, and 690 V main circuit support, it enables reliable control of three-phase HVAC motors and conveyors. The device’s AC-3 rated power, compact size, and DIN-rail mounting simplify integration into HVAC control panels or conveyor control stations while meeting IEC UL CE standards.
The BC6-40-00 meets IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and IEC/EN 60947-5-1, along with UL/CSA and CE markings. Additional declarations cover RoHS, REACH, and related safety requirements. This wide certification footprint supports global deployment in safety-critical equipment and ensures regulatory compliance across regions.
With a mechanical durability of up to 10 million cycles and a compact, screw-terminal design, maintenance is minimized and panel space is optimized. The low coil power reduces heat and energy use, contributing to lower operating costs. Quick installation and reliable performance translate to faster time-to-market and lower lifecycle costs for machines and facilities.
