Eaton DILEM Contactor, 230V ac Coil, 4-Pole, 9 A, 4 kW 230V ac, 4 NO, 400V ac

Use this contactor from Eaton to repeatedly switch power to a circuit. It allows low voltages and currents to switch a higher-powered circuit on and off. You'll find contactors like this frequently used in automated large-scale office, commercial and industrial lighting setups. Minimal heat dissipation gives this unit a lower operating temperature, so you can achieve a higher packing density on your circuit board. The double-box terminal ensures greater wiring security and helps prevent conductors from accidentally working loose. This contactor's enclosure has an IP20 (ingress protection) rating, which means it's touch-proof and protected against objects larger than 12mm.

• High mechanical durability for greater longevity

The most common cause of contactor failure is when the contacts of the device become stuck or fused in one position. This is usually a result of an excessive inrush current or unstable control voltages.

Eaton's range of DILEM & DILEEM contactors are predominantly used in larger-scale operations, they are designed to provide a long mechanical and electrical life which in turn accomplishes reliability. Users will commonly find these contactors integrated within industrial buildings and factory installations, enabling automated processes of motors and resistive loads

Easier engineering through identical construction sizes for AC- and DC-operated contactors

If you have asked yourself this question, rest assured you are not the only person that has wondered how contactors work. If you've wondered how do contactors differ from a relay? The following answer will also explain that. A contactor is essentially a relay, it holds very similar functions, but it is typically used in larger-scale applications. In most cases, a contactor is a switch that can be controlled remotely, specifically designed to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts.
