Power contactor, I=40A (AC-3) DILM40(230V50HZ,240V60HZ) 277766

Power contactor for industrial applications

This Eaton power contactor, model DILM40, is a reliable component designed to control electrical circuits in industrial applications. Designed to operate with currents up to 40A (AC-3), it provides effective and safe switching of loads such as electric motors. The contactor's construction based on solid components guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation even in demanding conditions.

Characteristics and application

The DILM40 contactor finds application in a wide spectrum of applications, from simple control systems to advanced industrial automation systems. Its versatility results from the ability to operate at both 230V (50Hz) and 240V (60Hz). Equipped with three normally open main contacts, it allows switching three-phase loads with a power of up to 18.5 kW (AC-3). Solid screw connections ensure secure and durable connection of wires.

The use of double screw terminals facilitates wiring of wires with different cross-sections, and front connections speed up mounting and connection. Importantly, the dimensions of AC and DC contactors are identical, allowing the use of the same accessories for both types of devices – this saves time and costs.

Advantages and benefits
