High-Performance AC Contactor - Industrial Motor Control & Power Switching

Product Overview

An AC Contactor is an essential electromechanical switching device designed for the remote control of high-current AC loads. Distinct from relays due to its higher current carrying capacity and robust construction, it ensures precise and safe switching of motors, heating elements, lighting systems, and other industrial equipment. Built for endurance and performance, our AC Contactors offer dependable operation, efficient arc suppression, and modular expandability, making them the cornerstone of reliable industrial control systems.

Key Features

• High Switching Capacity: Rated for a wide range of currents (e.g., 9A to 800A), capable of handling demanding inductive and resistive loads with ease.
• Robust & Durable Construction: Manufactured with high-quality, flame-retardant engineering plastics and high-conductivity contacts, ensuring exceptional mechanical and electrical life cycles.
• Wide Coil Voltage Range: Available in various AC coil voltages (e.g., 24V, 110V, 230V, 400V, 480V, 690V) to seamlessly integrate with diverse control circuit designs.
• Multiple Poles & Auxiliary Contacts: Standard configurations include 3-pole main contacts for motor control, often with integrated 1NO + 1NC auxiliary contacts for feedback and interlocking. Additional auxiliary contact blocks (side or front-mounted) are readily available.
• Efficient Arc Suppression: Designed with advanced arc chutes and contact geometry to rapidly extinguish arcs, significantly enhancing safety, preventing contact welding, and extending contact life.
• Easy & Flexible Installation: Features standard 35mm DIN rail mounting for quick panel integration, along with optional screw mounting for secure fixed applications.
• Modular & Expandable Design: Allows for easy addition of accessories such as auxiliary contact blocks, mechanical interlocks, surge suppressors, and thermal overload relays, providing comprehensive motor protection.
• Clear Status Indication: Many models include a mechanical indicator for visual confirmation of the contactor's ON/OFF status, aiding in troubleshooting and maintenance.
• Safety & Compliance: Engineered and tested to meet stringent international standards (e.g., IEC 60947-4-1, UL, CE, CCC), ensuring reliable and safe operation in demanding environments.
