Experience greater efficiency, reliability, and enhanced performance with the compact yet powerful 100-C series of contactors by Allen Bradley.

These space-saving IEC contactors offer high switching power, ensuring application versatility and the ability to handle the high starting currents of modern motors and other loads. They have low power consumption and offer high connection reliability and ease-of-wiring due to having two separate power connections per pole, saving you valuable time and money. They are made of environmentally friendly materials and are RoHs compliant for added peace-of-mind.

100-C series contactors have reversible coil terminals, offer front and side mounting of auxiliary contacts, and can be attached to a 35mm DIN Rail mount or panel mounted. Breadth of line is 9...97 A. These contactors provide IP2X finger protection to prevent risk of injury to operators and risk of damage to the device. They are compatible with electronic overload relays and bimetallic relays. This series also conveniently offers common accessories for all contactor sizes to give you a perfectly integrated system.

The 100-C12KJ10 model is a 3-Pole contactor with 1NO, 0NC auxiliary contact configuration and screw terminals. It has a rated operating current of 12A and the power rating is 5.5kW. Coil termination for this unit is line side. The coil voltage is 24V, 50/60Hz.

Contactors are electromagnetic devices which can switch high amounts of electrical current and work with the use of an internal coil or electromagnet, which opens or closes the contacts when electrical current passes through it. They are similar to relays, however they can handle larger loads and are able to switch more than 15 amperes. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty, larger scale applications, such as switching several different circuits simultaneously. These devices can be remotely controlled and so can be used for logic controlling, such as turning different things on and off together. Contactors feature high coil voltages and they also have more input and output options than relays. They are often used to control electric motors and lighting systems.

Allen Bradley Contactors are expertly designed to consistently deliver excellent performance and meet your unique requirements. They have a range of motor control products, including IEC and NEMA contactors that can be combined with compatible accessories, to help you find your ideal solution.
