Eaton xStart Contactor, 110 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 150 A, 75 kW, 3NO, 400 V ac

High operational reliability with a long lifespan, the DILM series of contactors from the xStart system are ideal for AC-4 jogging, ensuring continual operation for busy environments. This generation of modular components benefit from technology advances for motor switching and control. A series of extremely durable and interference immune, DILM contactors also handle all demands when used in conjunction with PLCs. The AC and DC components in this series from EATON offer 3 pole contactors up to 170 A AC-3 at 400 V and 4 pole contactors up to 200 A AC-1.

• Compatible with the SmartWire-DT® communication system
• Identical sizes for AC and DC operated contactors
• Minimised heat dissipation - energy saving
• Direct Fieldbus connection
• Integrated suppressor circuit for DC models

This range of contactors can be used across a multitude of applications, users will commonly find these contactors being used within industrial settings such as factory automation, railway transportation, electrical systems, electric motor, lighting, and mechanical engineering.

Contactors, unlike relays, are specifically designed to connect to high current load devices. Used in larger-scale applications, a contactor is a switch that can be controlled remotely, specifically designed to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts. If a device has the ability to switch more than 15 amperes it is called a contactor. These devices also feature high coil voltages which is rare within relays.

Looking for a reliable way to switch powerful loads in an electrical circuit? Use this contactor from Eaton. Thanks to its high coil voltage of 110V AC and current rating of 150A, you'll find it suitable for use in heavy-duty systems. It features robust screw terminals to make a stable electrical connection. A wide operating temperature range between -25°C and +40°C means this component can withstand harsh environments. You can safely use it in demanding applications, such as factory automation systems and lighting fixtures.

• Built-in short-circuit protection to prevent damage from irregular currents
• Mechanical shock resistance for durability in harsh environments

This unit has a mechanical lifespan of 1,000,000 operations, so you can rely on it for long-term use. It also has an operational frequency rating of 3,600 cycles per hour for reliable daily switching.

The contact state configuration of contactors are typically normally open, while relays can be normally closed or normally open. A contactor also has a higher load capacity and power rating than a relay.
