The 4-pole BC6-40-00-07 mini contactor provides four normally open main contacts, enabling compact control of multiple loads from a single device, reducing wiring complexity and panel footprint. Business impact: streamlined wiring, faster commissioning, and reduced cabinet space. Application: machine tools and HVAC systems where space is at a premium. The 12 V DC coil delivers reliable energisation with a low 3.5 W pull-in/holding power, minimizing heat generation and energy use in control circuits. Application: low-power control panels and safety interlocks where energy efficiency matters, improving overall system reliability. Screw terminal connections offer secure, vibration-resistant wiring for adverse environments, supporting flexible conductor sizes and straightforward field maintenance. Application: heavy-duty industrial installations where maintenance windows are tight. DIN rail mounting compatibility (TH35-15/TH35-7.5) and optional wall mounting simplify integration into standard enclosures and retrofit projects, reducing installation time and ensuring consistent alignment with supporting infrastructure. Application: modular automation cabinets and retrofit projects in manufacturing and building automation. IP20 protection on both control and main circuit terminals safeguards against dust ingress and incidental contact, improving safety and easing compliance with installation standards. Application: indoor electrical protection and control in residential, commercial, and light industrial setups. The contactor is rated for AC-3 and AC-1 duty per IEC/UL standards, delivering predictable performance for motor-start and control circuits in variable voltage environments. Application: motor control centers and pump stations with diverse voltage requirements, enabling scalable, future-proof designs.

FAQs
The BC6-40-00-07 uses a 12 V DC control coil and features 4 main NO contacts with no NC contacts. This configuration supports switching multiple loads from a single device and simplifies wiring in compact control panels.
Yes. The device is designed for DIN rail mounting using TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails, and it can also be mounted on a wall. This provides installation flexibility in standard enclosures and retrofit projects.
Rated operational power AC-3 varies by voltage: at 230 V, 55 °C you can achieve about 9 A; at 400 V and 500 V it remains 9 A; at 690 V, it is 3.5 A for the NO configuration. These ratings guide motor and pump starting applications in industrial controls.
The contactor carries CE and UL/CSA listings, along with CB/CCC declarations and related RoHS/REACH compliance. These certifications support global approvals for panel builders and OEMs across multiple regions.
Use screw terminals with appropriate conductor sizes (1/2 x 1 to 2.5 mm² for main, 1/2 x 1 to 2.5 mm² for control), respect tightening torques (0.8–1.1 N·m for both circuits), and follow the dimension and mounting diagrams. The design supports secure, vibration-resistant connections in demanding industrial environments.
