TeSys Deca contactor, 3 poles (3NO), for motor control applications up to 38A/440V AC-3/3e (18.5kW@400V). They can be used to create motor starters for almost any type of application. It provides a 24V 50/60Hz AC coil, 1NO+1NC built-in auxiliary contacts (NC mirror certified), connection by screw clamp terminals. For operating rates until 3600 cycles/hour and environments until 60°C, it procures high reliability and durability. Compact (45mm width), DIN-rail mounting or screw fixing. Contactor is rated for 10HP at 200 to 208VAC, 10HP at 240VAC, 20HP at 480VAC and 25HP at 600VAC three phase. Multi standards certified (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine). When used with a 480VAC up to 60A circuit breaker, this contactor can have a SCCR up to 85kA. When used with up to a 600VAC 80A Class J or CC fuse, this contactor can have a SCCR up to 100kA. Contactor is supplied with a 24 VAC 50/60 Hz coil. Contactor has one normally open and one normally closed auxiliary contact built-in as standard. The NC contact is mirror certified. Screw clamp terminals are used for load and auxiliary connections. An extensive line of accessories makes it easy to meet the requirements of most applications. The contactor is 3.35 inches tall, 1.77 inches wide and 3.62 inches deep. It weighs 0.84 lbs. Contactor is certified to UL, CSA, IEC, CCC, EAC and Marine standards.

"Helping us move projects forward"
With supply chain issues increasingly affecting our business, PLC Direct has been there for us to supply the PLC products we need, when we need it. If they don't have it readily available, they find it and provide it quickly and reliably. This has helped us move forward with several projects that would have otherwise taken us many, many months to complete.
