EATON DILM12-10(24V60HZ) Mini Contactor 12A, 24 Vac, 60 Hz, 1NO, Frame B, 45 mm, Non Reversing, 5.5 kW

Eaton DILM12-10 (24V60HZ) IEC mini contactor is an electrical switch used in industrial control systems and automation applications. It is ideal for controlling the flow of electricity to electrical loads. This mini contactor is used in motor & lighting control and machinery automation.

Working Mechanism:

• This mini contactor operates using a 24VAC (60 Hz) coil voltage.
• When voltage is applied to the coil, it generates a magnetic field that attracts a movable armature, causing the contactor's main contacts to close.
• This allows electrical power to flow through the load connected to the contactor.

Features:

• This Eaton DILM12-10 mini contactor has screw terminals to securely attach electrical wires for reliable operation within electrical circuits.
• It provides finger and back-of-hand protection, ensuring safety against direct contact when operated from the front.
• This contactor is equipped with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 8000VAC, ensuring its resilience to voltage spikes and electrical surges.
• It features a low resistance per pole of 2.5 ohms.
• This Moeller Series DILM contactor offers a degree of protection at IP20, protection against solid objects.
