Send the right messages to your electric circuits using this contactor from ABB. To turn the power on or off, it opens or closes the contacts when the internal coil is energised. Thanks to its contact current rating of 45A, this unit's a solid workmate to have in your high-power equipment. It's resistant to shock and vibration, so stands up to demanding conditions like a champ. With a mechanical switching frequency of 3,600 cycles per hour, you can rely on it to handle the daily power needs of your devices.

• Compact external dimensions of 86 (H) x 45 (W) x 86mm (D) fits into a small enclosure easily

• Lighting fixtures

While both components provide switching capabilities, a contactor is built to handle higher current levels, up to hundreds of amps. A relay usually handles just a few amps.
