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.

Switch your electrical current on and off smoothly with this contactor from Eaton. Specifically designed for high-current load devices, it's commonly used in industrial settings for automation, lighting and machine control systems. The normally open (NO) spring-loaded contact breaks the power supply line when arcing occurs and then turns it back on, minimising motor damage and keeping your system going for longer. Screw the unit onto a DIN rail for a secure fit, even in applications where vibration is expected.

• Compatible with the SmartWire-DT communication system for easy wiring
• Operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C for use in demanding industrial environments
• Can complete up to 5,000 mechanical operations an hour for continuous use
• Mechanical shock resistance to prevent impact damage

A direct fieldbus allows this contactor to remotely communication with output devices without the need for individual wired connections.

This contactor has a mechanical lifespan of approximately 10 million operations, so you can rely on it for long-lasting continuous use.
