A wide range of accessories from Eaton designed for the DILM series including auxiliary contacts, contact blocks, mechanical interlocks and many more.

High operational reliability with a long lifespan, the DILM series of contactors from the xStart system are ideal for AC-4 jogging, ensuring continual operation for busy environments. This generation of modular components benefits from technology advances for motor switching and control. A series of extremely durable and interference immune, DILM contactors also handle all demands when used in conjunction with PLCs. The AC and DC components in this series from EATON offer 3 pole contactors up to 170 A AC-3 at 400 V and 4 pole contactors up to 200 A AC-1.

DILM Mechanical Interlocks - Used to interlock 2 DILM contactors to ensure only one contactor is operated at any one time (493-0731 for Contactor DILM7 to DILM12, 493-0747 for Contactor DILM17 to DILM32)

DILM wiring links - Rigid pre-formed wiring links used to configure various Xstart components for different motor starting applications. Using these kits provides a quick and cost-effective wiring method (Three-pointed star wiring kit for DILM7 to DILM15: 513-0342, Star-point bridge for DILM40 to DILM72: 513-4394)

Suppressor Diode - Prevention of negative switch-off voltage when the contactor is used together with a safety PLC (204-2079 for DILM7 to DILM15)

Paralleling Links - Used to convert a 3 pole contactor to a single pole contactor, thereby increasing the current capacity threefold (493-0719 for use with contactor DILM7 to DILM12, 493-0725 for use with contactor DILM17 to DILM32)

Surge Suppressors - Suppressor for AC modules, DC units and relays include suppressor as standard (307-645 for DILM17 to DILM45 with built-in LED, 307-689 for DILM7 to DILM15, 307-392 for DILM40 to DILM 95, 307-493 for DILM17 to DILM45, 307-617 for DILM7 to DILM15, 307-409 for DILM40 to DILM 95)

SmartWire-DT Communication and Function Modules – for connecting conntactors to the SmartWire-DT systems, simply plugged on like an auxiliary contact (774-0193 for DILM(C)7 to DILM(C)32, 774-0196 with Manual-Automatic switch for DILM(C)7 to DILM(C)32)

This range of contactors and accessories can be used across a multitude of applications, users will commonly find these contactors being used within industrial settings such as factory automation, railway transportation, electrical systems, electric motor, lighting, and mechanical engineering.

Contactors, unlike relays, are specifically designed to connect to high current load devices. Used in larger-scale applications, a contactor is a switch that can be controlled remotely, specifically designed to switch a large amount of electrical power through its contacts. If a device has the ability to switch more than 15 amperes it is called a contactor. These devices also feature high coil voltages which are rare within relays.
