Main Structure and Working Principle

1. Structural Features: The contactor features a positive-mounted, direct-action double-break contact structure. Its cover and body are made of arc-resistant plastic. Models A9–16 use natural arc extinguishing, while models A9–26 to 110 incorporate U-shaped arc extinguishing plates within the body to form a sealed arc chamber, delivering excellent arc extinguishing performance with zero arc-over distance. Contacts are made of anti-welding, wear-resistant silver-based alloy, offering good conductivity, long service life, and environmental friendliness. The iron core adopts an E-shaped design for compact size. Two coil wiring options are available: both terminals at one end, or one terminal at each end, ensuring flexible and convenient wiring.

The base is constructed from glass fiber reinforced plastic, providing high strength and good dielectric properties. Installation can be via screws or DIN rail, enabling quick and easy assembly/disassembly. Live conductive parts are fully enclosed, ensuring high safety performance.

2. Working Principle: When the control power to the contactor’s pull-in coil is applied (or removed), the magnetic system generates (or dissipates) electromagnetic force, driving the moving parts to make (or break) the circuit, thus achieving the control objective.
