The unit is designed for panel-mounted control in industrial environments, providing a compact footprint that preserves valuable enclosure space while delivering reliable operation in NEMA 1 indoor settings. This translates to faster wiring, simpler approvals, and lower installation costs for new builds or upgrades. The 40A, 600V rating supports most standard small-motor applications, enabling scalable control across equipment lines and reducing the need for multiple controllers. Side wired screw and clamp terminals streamline field wiring and ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections, reducing the risk of loose terminations in harsh environments. The glass-filled nylon enclosure offers robust mechanical strength and chemical resistance, while copper-alloy terminals ensure durable conductors under load, contributing to longer service life and fewer field failures. Compliance to RoHS and cULus standards simplifies procurement and cross-border maintenance, while the 4.67 in length, 4.42 in height, and 2.63 in width footprint fits common control-panels without major redesigns. Overall, the AHMC240C-1 delivers efficient, code-compliant control with predictable lifecycle costs.
