Note de utilizare
DC Circuit Application: When controlling DC24V circuits, derate the main contacts for use (≤12A resistive load) and install a surge suppressor (freewheeling diode) to protect the contacts
Heat Management: Ensure adequate ventilation for the contactor, avoid enclosed installation, and further derate the load when the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (10% derating for every 10°C rise)
Coil Protection: For the DC24V coil, pay attention to power supply fluctuations (allowable range: 21.6V~26.4V DC) to avoid burnout due to overvoltage
Metoda de montare: Supports 35mm standard DIN rail mounting or panel mounting, with no restriction on mounting direction
