• Heating and lighting control circuits

When it may not be suitable

This contactor is not intended for use in high-voltage applications exceeding its rated capacity or in environments with extreme moisture or corrosive gases that could damage the internal components. It is also not suitable for DC-specific control circuits unless an appropriate conversion or interface is used.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 3NO, 1NC
• Rated current: 18A at 400V AC3
• Coil voltage: 24V AC
• Application type: Power switching

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an electrical enclosure. Connect the control wires to the 24V AC coil terminals and ensure the main power lines are securely fastened to the load terminals. Verify all connections for tightness and ensure the contactor is protected from environmental contaminants before energizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control circuit provides a 24V AC signal.
• Ensure the 18A load capacity meets your specific motor or equipment requirements.
• Check the available space in your control cabinet for mounting.
• Confirm that the 3NO and 1NC contact arrangement matches your circuit logic.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the contactor for signs of wear or debris accumulation. Ensure that the electrical connections remain tight over time to prevent overheating and maintain optimal performance throughout the component's service life.
