Thanks to a wide operating temperature range, you can use this contactor in harsh conditions from a chilly -25°C right up to +50°C.

The most common reason for contactor failure is because a contact has become stuck in one position. This can be caused by excessive inrush currents, unstable voltages and low transition times, as well as general wear and tear. Keeping your contactor clean will help it work without a hiccup.
