When you're working with resistive loads, trust this contactor from Schneider Electric to handle the heavy lifting. Its job is to repeatedly open and close the circuit, supplying just what your appliances need to operate safely and reducing the risk of fire outbreaks caused by electrical arcs. Thanks to compact dimensions of 105 (H) x 45 (W) x 99mm (D), you'll have no trouble fitting it in setups where space is limited. You can either mount it on a panel or DIN rail, so it's an adaptable workmate that flexes to your needs.

• 40A current rating makes it suitable for high-current-consuming applications
• Low power loss of 3.2W per pole for energy efficiency and increased productivity
• IP20 rating indicates that it's protected from objects larger than 12mm in size
• Screw termination method is simple and doesn't need complex tools

• Electric heating systems
• Industrial lighting
• Motor-powered machinery

To keep this unit in top shape, regularly check its contact points for dust and debris. Clean off these contaminants with a low-pressure dry air stream. It's also important to check that the mounting and terminal screws are tightly fastened, especially in vibrating settings.
