    Operating principle

    The contactor is operated by applying 24V DC voltage to the control coil. When the coil receives a control signal, the contactor mechanically closes the main power contacts and energizes the connected load – such as an electric motor, pump, fan, heater, or other device.

    When the 24V DC control voltage is removed, the coil releases the contacts and the load is switched off. The integrated 1NO auxiliary contact can be used for contactor status signaling, latching circuits, PLC inputs, indicator lights, or other automation functions.

    What are the benefits of 24V DC control?
    A 24V DC coil allows the contactor to be easily integrated into automation systems, PLC controllers, relay modules, sensor circuits, and other low-voltage control solutions. This is especially relevant in modern industrial control cabinets.

    Where is it used?

    • Electric motor control – for starting and stopping small and medium power motors.
    • Pump control panels – for water supply, drainage, circulation, and technological pump control.
    • Ventilation systems – to control fans, air supply, and exhaust equipment.
    • Heating and lighting systems – for switching loads based on a thermostat, timer, relay, or controller signal.
    • Automation cabinets – when using 24V DC PLCs, sensors, or relay outputs for control.
    • Equipment modernization – for replacing worn-out or faulty contactors of a similar type.

    Practical installation example

    For example, the contactor can be installed in a pump control panel. The main three-phase motor circuit is connected via the contactor power contacts, and the 24V DC coil is controlled by a float switch, pressure relay, PLC controller, or other automation device.

    The integrated 1NO auxiliary contact can be used for latching – to keep the contactor engaged after the start button is released – or to send a signal to a PLC, an indicator light, or another control circuit function.

    Usage by need

    Electrician: A convenient contactor for control cabinets, motor starting circuits, fan, pump, heating, and lighting load switching. Compact size helps save space in the panel.

    Automation Engineer: The 24V DC control coil allows for easy use of the contactor alongside PLCs, relay outputs, sensors, timers, and other automation components.

    Industrial and Farm Specialist: Suitable for use in equipment control systems where reliable switching of motors, pumps, fans, or other electrical loads is required.

    Maintenance Specialist: Can be used as a replacement for a similar contactor model, provided that the coil voltage, contact configuration, current, mounting method, and load parameters are verified beforehand.

    Pros

    • 3P main power circuit – suitable for controlling three-phase loads.
    • 6A rated current – a practical solution for various control tasks.
    • Up to 2.2kW motor power – suitable for many small-power motor circuits.
    • 24V DC coil – convenient for use with PLCs and low-voltage automation systems.
    • 1NO auxiliary contact – intended for signaling, latching, or control logic.
    • Compact mini contactor housing – helps save space in control cabinets.
    • Low weight – only 0.219 kg.
    • Universal application – for motors, pumps, fans, heating, and lighting.

    Cons / limitations

    • Do not exceed 6A rated current – it is essential to evaluate real load and inrush currents.
    • 2.2kW rating depends on operating conditions – motor voltage, duty cycle, and protection must be assessed before use.
    • Does not include integrated motor protection – additional thermal relays, motor protection switches, or other protections may be required in motor circuits.
    • Not designed to be driven directly by high-power PLC outputs – evaluate coil control current and use an intermediate relay if necessary.

    Safety and installation notes

    The contactor is an electrical control component, therefore it must be selected and installed according to the specific electrical diagram, load type, control voltage, and applicable electrical safety requirements.

    • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
    • Before installation or maintenance work, disconnect the power supply and verify that the circuit is dead.
    • The control coil must only be powered by 24V DC.
    • Check terminal markings against the contactor diagram and manufacturer documentation before connecting.
    • Ensure appropriate protection against overload and short circuits in motor circuits.
    • Do not exceed the 6A rated current and evaluate inrush, inductive, and other transient currents.
    • When replacing an old contactor, verify the number of poles, coil voltage, auxiliary contact configuration, load, and physical mounting method.

    Quick selection guide

    This mini contactor is suitable when you need a compact 3-pole contactor with a 24V DC coil, rated for loads up to 6A and motors up to 2.2kW. It is especially relevant for automation cabinets, pump, fan, and motor control circuits.

    Suitable when you need:
    • a 3-pole contactor for three-phase load control;
    • a 24V DC control coil for a PLC or automation system;
    • a 6A rated contactor;
    • motor, pump, or fan control;
    • a 1NO auxiliary contact for signaling or latching.
    Check before ordering:
    • whether the control circuit really uses 24V DC, not 24V AC or 230V AC;
    • whether 3 poles and 1NO auxiliary contact are required;
    • whether the load current does not exceed 6A;
    • whether the motor power and duty cycle meet the contactor application;
    • whether additional thermal overload relay, motor protection, or other protection equipment is required.
    Important reminder:
    The contactor is intended for switching the load, but does not in itself protect the motor from overload or short circuits. Protection equipment must be selected according to the specific electrical diagram and load.

    FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this contactor suitable for a 2.2kW motor?
    Yes, the contactor is rated for motor power up to 2.2kW. However, before installation, you must evaluate the motor's operating voltage, current, starting mode, and intended protection.
    What does a 24V DC coil mean?
    It means that the contactor control coil must be supplied with 24V direct current. It must not be connected to 24V AC or 230V AC power.
    What does 1NO mean?
    1NO means one normally open auxiliary contact. It closes when the contactor coil is energized, so it can be used for signaling, latching, or automation control.
    Does the contactor have motor overload protection?
    No. The contactor is designed to switch the electrical circuit on and off. Additional protection equipment is generally required to protect the motor from overload and short circuits.
    Can this contactor be used for a fan or pump?
    Yes. It can be used to control fans, pumps, and other electric motors, provided that the load parameters and control coil voltage match the contactor's specification.
    Is the contactor suitable for PLC control?
    Yes, the 24V DC coil is suitable for use with PLCs and other low-voltage automation systems. However, it is necessary to verify whether the PLC output can directly drive the coil or if an intermediate relay is required.
