When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for applications requiring a higher current rating than 25A or for systems operating on DC coil voltages. It should not be used in environments that exceed the specified temperature or humidity ratings provided by the manufacturer.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated operational current: 25A
• Coil voltage: 230V AC
• Auxiliary contacts: 0 Normally Open (NO), 1 Normally Closed (NC)

How to use

The contactor should be installed on a standard DIN rail or mounted directly onto a panel surface within an appropriate enclosure. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before wiring the main power terminals and the coil connections. Connect the control circuit to the coil terminals and the load to the main power poles, ensuring that all connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating. Verify the wiring against the circuit diagram before energizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 230V AC coil voltage matches your control system requirements.
• Ensure the 25A current rating is sufficient for your specific load.
• Check the available space in your electrical cabinet for mounting.
• Confirm that the auxiliary contact configuration meets your feedback or interlocking needs.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a functional test of the contactor after installation and before putting the system into full operation to ensure all contacts engage and disengage correctly.
