Allen Bradley 100S-C Series Contactor, 24 V dc Coil, 3-Pole, 16 A, 2NO + 3NC, 690 V ac

The Bulletin 100S-C series of Safety Contactors by Allen Bradley provides reliable switching capability and offers optimal performance for your application. The 100S-C16EJ23C Safety Contactor has 24V dc electronic coil voltage and a rated operating current of 16 A. It also features 3NO power poles and 2NO/3NC aux contact configuration. Coil termination is line side.

The 100S-C Contactors have mechanically linked positively guided contacts, which are front-mounted. These are essential for modern feedback circuits in safety applications. These NC auxiliary contacts do not change their state when a power pole welds. These contactors are perfectly suited for low-energy applications due to their gold-plated bifurcated auxiliary contacts. Additionally, they are well suited for feedback control circuits with multiple series-connected NC aux contacts. The housing colour is a highly visible red to ensure fast, easy identification of the safety unit.

• Positively guided/mechanically linked main contacts according to IEC 947-5-1
• It has SUVA Third-Party certification and is RoHS compliant
• Wide range of accessories such as surge suppressors, electronic timers, and mechanical interlocks available to meet individual control needs
• Easy to identify due to red contact housings
• Protective cover prevents manual operation, yet the window allows visible on/off status
• Ideal for low-energy applications due to gold-plated bifurcated aux contacts
• Redundant contactors to isolate motor (hazardous motion)

Note: DC versions incorporate a diode protection circuit.

Much like relays, a contactor is an electromagnetic device which is designed to switch electrical current through its contacts. It can switch a larger amount of electrical power than normal relays and can therefore be used for more heavy-duty, larger-scale applications, such as switching several different circuits simultaneously. It can also be controlled remotely and can be used for logic controlling to serve different functions, such as turning on some things at the same time as turning off others. Contactors feature high coil voltages and are able to switch more than 15 amperes, and they also have more input and output options than relays. They are frequently used to control electric motors and lighting systems. They contain a coil or electromagnet which opens or closes the contacts when the electrical current passes through the contactor.

Rockwell Automation is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, and brings smart manufacturing to life. With a long legacy of creating Allen-Bradley® integrated control and information solutions, we help make you as productive as possible. Our portfolio of sensing, safety and motor control products can support your move towards smart machine applications. Allen-Bradley® IO-Link sensors are data-enabled and communicate with all field buses, providing diagnostic and health information about the device before a machine stops, and enabling quick production changeovers through fast parameter downloads from PLCs into the device. This reduces machine downtime and increases manufacturing OEE. For safety components, products with built-in diagnostics simplify the set-up of the smart device, and reduce maintenance, leading to a more efficient, machine data-driven approach.
