Eaton xStart Contactor, 230 V ac Coil, 1-Pole, 6.6 A, 3 kW, 3NO, 400 V ac

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
Energy savings and higher packing density in control panel due to minimized heat dissipation
High wiring security through doubled box terminals
Less coupler relays: direct actuation from the PLC for contactors up to 32 A
Easy engineering through integrated suppressor circuits for DC
Wide operating temperature
Surface or DIN rail mounting
Ingress Protection Rating of IP20 on the contacts protecting against solid objects up to 12mm, - has no protection against water
Mechanical Interlock for use with DILE* Series 326-740 (does not prevent fitting of auxiliary contact blocks)

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.

Features & Benefits
• Wide operating temperature
• The DILEM and DILEEM range of contactors are compact in size, enabling them to fit into DIN 43 880 enclosures
• Surface or DIN rail mounting
• The contactors have IP20 protection, this means that the contactor is protected against solid objects up to 12mm, for example, a person's finger - has no protection against water

Typical Applications
This range of contactors can be used across a multitude of applications, users will commonly find these contactors being used within factory automation, railway transportation, electrical systems, starting motors, providing control over furnaces and mechanical engineering.
