Product Information
Extended Description
GJL1313201R8001 ABB: The BC7-40-00 mini contactor is a compact 4 pole contactor with screw terminals. They are ideally suited for applications where reliability is a must and space is at a premium. Mini contactors are used in residential buldings, commercial buildings and industrial applications for the control of single or three-phase loads up to 5.5 kW (AC-3) and 20 A (AC-1) or switching of control signals. Due to the low coil consumption, this device can be directly controlled by a PLC. Further features are the noiseless and hum-free coil, a switch position indication and the integrated possibility for rail or wall mounting.
