Want to delegate the job of switching electrical loads on or off? You're in safe hands with this contactor from ABB. It has two poles so does double duty by managing a pair of circuits at the same time. Integrated overvoltage protection on the control circuit means rogue surges are stopped in their tracks. As the unit runs smoothly on a supply voltage of 220V DC or 400V AC, it's a versatile option. Harsh industrial conditions are no problem, as it delivers reliable performance in challenging temperatures between -25°C and +55°C.

• 1.3kW power rating indicates it's suitable for safely switching moderate electrical loads
• Mechanical durability of one million cycles for long-term service
• IP20 rating means it's touch-proof and shrugs off tools or wires bigger than 12.5mm

• Factory automation
• HVAC systems
• Assembly plants

This contactor weighs 225g, so it doesn't add excess load to your setup.

It's a compact option that measures up at 65 (L) x 36 (W) x 85mm (H), making it ideal for setups where space is limited.
