Coil efficiency and reliability → Lower energy use and reduced heat in control circuits, thanks to a 48 V DC coil with a typical 3.5 W holding/pull-in draw, improving panel density and thermal management. This translates to longer component life and lower cooling requirements in everyday operation. Application fit: ideal for DC-controlled starters in building automation and light industry where IEC/EN standards and UL/CSA listings are prerequisites. DIN rail mounting and screw-terminal wiring → Faster installation, easier maintenance, and flexible retrofit in existing panels; 52.5 mm width and 46.7 mm depth keep enclosure footprints tight while preserving clearance and accessibility. Compatibility and durability → IP20 protection on terminals, TH35 mounting rails (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5), and rugged 10 million mechanical operations support long lifecycle in busy facilities. Reliability in challenging environments → Operates from -25 to +55 °C and up to 2000 m altitude, with proven resistance to shocks and vibrations, helping avoid unplanned outages in industrial settings.

FAQs
The BC7-40-00 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and can also be mounted on a wall. This flexibility simplifies retrofits and new panel builds, enabling fast installation in standard electrical enclosures while maintaining secure, vibration-resistant installation in demanding environments.
For AC-3 operation, ratings include 12 A at 230 V, 12 A at 400 V, 9 A at 500 V, and 3.5 A when operated at 690 V (no-load). For AC-1, typical current ratings are up to 20 A at 220/240 V (40 °C) or 16 A at 55 °C, with higher voltage variants up to 690 V. The device can switch up to 5.5 kW under AC-3 at appropriate voltages.
The coil operates at 48 V DC and draws about 3.5 W on both pull-in and holding conditions. This low coil power reduces heat generation inside control panels, contributing to better overall energy efficiency and extended component life without sacrificing switching performance.
The BC7-40-00 carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 ratings, UL/CSA listings, and CE marking. It also aligns with UL 60947-1/60947-4-1 requirements and IP20 protection on the terminals. This ensures compliance across global markets and supports regulatory acceptance in industrial installations.
Connect main circuit conductors using flexible ferrule or rigid conductors in the range 1/2 x 1 to 4 mm², with a wire stripping length of 9 mm. Tightening torque is 0.8–1.1 N·m for both control and main circuits. Use screw terminals for robust connections and maintain IP20 integrity by keeping terminations accessible and clean.
