IEC Magnetic Contactor 24V DC
This IEC-style magnetic contactor operates on a 24V DC coil and provides three main power poles rated for inductive loads up to 50 A and resistive loads up to 70 A. It includes two auxiliary contacts in a 1NO/1NC configuration for control circuit signalling. The unit is supplied without an enclosure and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.
Three-pole power switching for motor control
Designed for non-reversing three-phase motor applications, the contactor handles 15 hp at 240V AC and 40 hp at both 480V AC and 600V AC. The 24V DC coil voltage requires a compatible control supply, while the open design means the installer must provide a suitable enclosure and overcurrent protection. Two built-in auxiliary contacts free up panel space by eliminating the need for separate control relays.
Compact footprint with no active cooling
Measuring 2.95 in by 2.95 in overall, the contactor fits into tight panels and dissipates heat passively without fans, so it adds no acoustic noise to the installation. Power draw is limited to the 24V DC coil consumption during operation, and the absence of moving-air components eliminates a common maintenance item. The open construction relies on the surrounding enclosure for environmental protection.

Questions about this item
How much inductive current can the contactor handle continuously before it overheats?
The contactor is rated for 50 A full-load inductive current, so sustained loads above that level will cause thermal stress.
How hot or noisy does the coil get when energised at 24 V DC all day?
The 24 V DC coil runs silently with no moving fan; heat rise is limited to normal coil dissipation inside the 2.95 in square enclosure.
What auxiliary contact blocks must already be wired in for the 1NO/1NC contacts to function?
Two auxiliary contacts (1NO and 1NC) are built into the contactor itself, so no extra blocks are required for basic control circuits.
