Eaton xStart DILER Contactor, 24 V ac Coil, 4-Pole, 3 A, 2NO + 2NC, 400 V ac

Eaton's DILE mini contactor overload relays reflect a long tradition of reliable, code compliant and efficient power distribution in any automation and control environments. These circuit breakers provide premium protection for overheating wires, overloads and short circuits in residential, commercial, industrial and hazardous areas and are ideally suited for use within harsh environments with high temperatures.

The DILE mini auxiliary contactor overload relays have compact dimensions and a modular design for the highest packing densities. Their space-saving size allows these mini contactor relays to be used wherever small motors or loads need to be controlled and switched. With an extended performance range of up to 5.5 kW at 400 V, an output range up to 7A and extensive approvals that mean they are suitable to be used worldwide.

The DILE mini contactor relays are available as AC versions (for control current networks from 24 V to 480 V with 50 Hz or 60 Hz) or DC versions (for control current versions from 12 V to 220 V). The DC operated versions have the suppressor as a diode-resistor combination integrated into the device.

Within the DILER series of contactor overload relays Eaton offers both a spring-loaded terminal and a screw terminal version with interlocked opposing contacts allowing the devices to be expanded to up to 8 auxiliary contacts.

• AC drive - for control voltages from 24 V to 600 V, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz
• DC drive - for control voltages from 12 V to 250 V
• UL and CSA approvals
• For controlling motors up to 5.5 kW
• DC-operated devices with integrated suppressor circuits
• Auxiliary NC with mirror contacts for use in safety-related applications
• Low power consumption - can be controlled directly from a PLC

This contactor relay from Eaton protects your motor’s current from damage. When a current is overloaded, it begins to overheat, damaging coils and leading to a short-circuit in the motor. This unit is wired to the circuit so it trips when the current exceeds the maximum allowance of 3A (amperes) and breaks the connection, preventing strain. It has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +40°C so it can withstand use in extreme cold or high-heat environments. This type of relay is commonly used in automation and control environments.

• Lasts for approximately 10 million operations for a durable mechanical lifespan
• Screw mountable for swift and secure installation
• Finger-proof IP20 (ingress protection) rating means it's safe to touch without fear of electrocution

This contactor relay has a maximum operating frequency of 9,000 mechanical operations per hour, ensuring it can withstand constant use and that rapid switching between on and off won't wear down the mechanism.
