Definite Purpose Magnetic Contactor
The Eaton C25BNB240T is a definite purpose magnetic contactor designed for industrial electrical control. It manages power flow in heavy-duty applications such as HVAC, data processing, and manufacturing. The unit operates on a 24V AC coil voltage and features a non-reversing action for constant current direction. It is built for professionals automating machinery operations.
Installation and Wiring Considerations
The contactor mounts with a depth of 2.32 in and operates at 50/60 Hz frequency. Wiring must match the 24V AC coil requirement for proper engagement. It provides no auxiliary contact module capacity, so secondary circuits cannot be controlled directly. Ensure the enclosure accommodates the stated depth and the supply matches the specified voltage and frequency ratings.
Suitability and Limitations
This contactor suits installers needing a 2-pole device rated for 40 A inductive and 50 A resistive loads at 120V or 240V AC single phase. It supports 3 hp at 120V and 7-1/2 hp at 240V for motor control applications. Buyers requiring auxiliary contacts for additional circuit control should look elsewhere. It is not intended for reversing applications or DC coil operation.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the C25BNB240T is working after installation?
Apply 24V AC to the coil at 50/60 Hz and listen for a firm mechanical closure; then measure continuity across the two power poles while the coil is energised to verify the 40 A inductive or 50 A resistive circuit is complete.
What comes in the box with the C25BNB240T and what must I buy separately?
The contactor body with integrated 24V AC coil and two main power poles is supplied; no auxiliary contact block is included because the auxiliary capacity is rated at 0, so any control-circuit accessories must be purchased separately.
Which coil voltage version of the C25BNB240T should I choose for a 24 V control circuit?
Select the 24V AC coil version — the only voltage offered for this model — which matches 50/60 Hz control systems and provides the 40 A inductive and 50 A resistive ratings at 120 V and 240 V single-phase loads.
