Looking for a powerful yet compact device for your high-current-load system? This 3-pole contactor from Eaton has a 3kW power rating, so it packs a punch in its slimline dimensions of 58 (L) x 45 (W) x 52mm (D). It's an energy-efficient way of switching electrical circuits on and off to keep your heating, lighting or automation application under control. Built-in arc suppression helps prevent damage and downtime. Controlling this device directly from a PLC lets you nip any issues in the bud.

• IP20 rating indicates a touchproof unit to prevent electric shocks
• Double-box terminals assist with the accurate wiring of cross-sections
• Mechanical lifespan of 10,000 operations means this contactor is built to last

Thanks to a wide operating temperature range, you can use this contactor in harsh conditions from a chilly -25°C right up to +50°C.

The most common reason for contactor failure is because a contact has become stuck in one position. This can be caused by excessive inrush currents, unstable voltages and low transition times, as well as general wear and tear. Keeping your contactor clean will help it work without a hiccup.
