WIRING DIAGRAM
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Install the contactor on the DIN
rail (as shown in fig.1).
Wire the contactor to the input
side. AWG #18 (0.8 mm
2 ) minimum,
AWG #12 (3.3 mm 2 ) x 2 maximum.
Wire the contactor to the output
side. AWG #18 (0.8 mm
2 ) minimum,
AWG #10 (5.3 mm 2 ) x 2
(stranded/solid) maximum.
Maximum recommended terminal
screw torque input 12 in-lbs (1.36
Nm) & output 15 in-lbs (1.7 Nm).
If multiple units are installed be
sure to follow derating curves

WARNING! Removing product from 35 mm rail incorrectly by not using the
appropriate tool could damage the latching system
Important Considerations
Be sure to use input and output voltages within operating
ranges.
L ED indicates only input status. It does not represent output
status.
To achieve maximum ratings, there must be a minimum
spacing of 0.8 in (22 mm) between the devices in free air and
a minimum free spacing of 3.15 in (80 mm) at the top and at
the bottom. (See fig. 3)
