Relay purpose and fit
The Dayton 6ECA5 is an IEC overload relay rated 0.25 to 0.40 amperes with Trip Class 10 protection. It mounts directly to a contactor and provides three-pole thermal overload protection for motor circuits.
Compatibility checks
Verify that your contactor accepts direct mounting of an IEC relay body measuring 3.62 in depth, 1.85 in height and 1.73 in width. Confirm the motor full-load current falls within the 0.25 to 0.40 A range and that the control circuit can use the 1NO/1NC auxiliary contact.
Thermals and power
Thermal trip operates at Class 10 response for sustained overcurrent conditions. The relay body reaches 2.5 in overall height when mounted. No fan or active cooling is required; power draw is limited to the contactor coil and auxiliary circuit.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and does it mount directly to a contactor?
The overload relay is supplied as a single unit and mounts directly to a contactor without extra hardware.
Which current setting range should I select for my motor?
Choose the 0.25 to 0.40 A range if the motor full-load current falls inside that window.
What does the Class 10 trip rating mean in practice?
Class 10 means the relay will trip within 10 seconds at six times the set current, protecting the motor from sustained overload.
