ASL16 contactors are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors and generally for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC or 220 V DC. They are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors, non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. The AS... series 2-stack 3-pole contactors are of the block type design. - Main poles and auxiliary contact blocks: 1st stack with 3 main poles and 1 N.O. built-in auxiliary contact, with a non-removable front-mounted 2 N.O. + 2 N.C. auxiliary contact block (mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts compliant with Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1 including the "Mechanically Linked" symbol on the contactor side. N.C. mirror contacts compliant with Annex F of IEC 60947-4-1) - Control circuit: DC operated with solid core magnet circuit. The polarity on the coil terminals (A1+ and A2-) must be respected - Accessories: a wide range of accessories is available. ASL... contactors are fitted with low consumption DC coils and are suitable for a direct control by PLC outputs.
