Dayton 6EAZ0 4-Pole 240V AC 40A Contactor
Four-pole IEC magnetic contactor rated 40 A inductive at 240 V AC with 2 NC / 2 NO main contacts and no enclosure
- 4-pole design controls multiple circuits simultaneously
- 40 A inductive rating handles heavy motor loads
- 60 A resistive capacity supports heating applications
- 240 V AC coil suits standard industrial supplies
- UL CSA IEC compliance meets major safety standards
Purpose and fit
The Dayton 6EAZ0 is a four-pole IEC magnetic contactor rated for 240 V AC coil operation and 40 A inductive full-load current. It suits industrial control panels that switch motor or resistive loads up to 5 hp at 240 V single-phase without requiring a reversing function.
Sustained-load behaviour
With a 60 A resistive rating and 50/60 Hz coil, the contactor maintains stable engagement during continuous duty cycles. The 2 NC/2 NO main contact configuration provides reliable auxiliary signalling while the open-frame design allows unrestricted airflow around the power poles during extended operation.
Deciding specification
The 40 A inductive full-load amp rating at 240 V AC determines whether this contactor matches the motor or heater load you intend to switch. Exceeding this value risks contact welding and coil overheating, so verify the connected equipment nameplate before installation.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 40 A contactor generate when running continuously?
The unit carries 40 A inductive and 60 A resistive full-load current; power dissipation depends on contact resistance and duty cycle, so ensure the enclosure provides adequate airflow for the 4.6 in. depth.
What control voltage must my panel supply for the coil to operate?
The coil is rated for 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz, so your control circuit must deliver that voltage.
Will the 2.95 in. wide contactor fit alongside legacy starters in a standard DIN rail row?
At 2.95 in. high and wide it matches common IEC mounting centres, but verify your rail spacing and wiring clearance before installing.
