Key specifications

• Number of poles: 4
• Rated operational current: 22A (AC-1)
• Control coil voltage: 230V AC
• Connection type: Spring-type terminals
• Frequency: 50/60Hz

How to use

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations. The contactor is designed for mounting onto standard DIN rails. Begin by ensuring the power supply is disconnected. Insert the control wires into the spring-type terminals, ensuring they are fully seated to establish a secure connection. Connect the main power lines to the corresponding poles. Once installed, verify that the control voltage matches the 230V AC specification before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the control voltage of your system matches the 230V AC coil requirement.
• Ensure the 22A current rating is sufficient for your specific load requirements.
• Confirm that your wiring infrastructure is compatible with spring-type terminal connections.
• Check the available space in your control cabinet for proper mounting and heat dissipation.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the terminal connections for any signs of vibration-induced loosening and ensure the contactor is kept free from dust and moisture to maintain optimal performance throughout its service life.
