Its dust-free internal construction and included accessories ensure easy installation and long-term durability, making it a trusted choice for professionals seeking efficient motor control solutions. ## Description In accordance with U.L. Bulletin No. 508 "Industrial Control Equipment", contactors meet specifications for devices up to 600 VAC. Coils have class B insulation. Includes Lug, spade terminals, and covers. Accepts Aux. Switch: Yes. Amps: 40, Aux. Switch: AC3/P6S/P7S, Brand: Packard, Coil Voltage: 208/240, Connection Type: Box Lug, Construction: Dust Free Internal Construction, Country of Origin: CHINA, F/L Inductive Amps: 40, Foot Mount: Versatile Foot Mount, Hertz: 50/60, Includes: Includes lugs spade terminals and covers, Insulation Class: Coils have class B insulation, Locked Rotor Amps 240/480/600: 240/200/160, Number of Poles: 3, Resistive Amps: 50, UPC: 840899100517 Review: Good quality 3 pole contactor - I used this for my walk in cooler roof top unit, 3pole 240v Review: connections are sturdy, This unit works excellent on my 5hp Air ... - Simple to wire up, connections are sturdy, This unit works excellent on my 5hp Air Compressor. Far cheaper to replace the starter box using this relay rather than buying a new "air compressor relay" I highly recommend using this relay as a motor starting relay, it has no problems handling the initial motor amperage draw! I bought this one because it uses the same voltage in the coil as what the air compressor motor runs on, makes for very simple wiring! The unit is also small enough to be attached virtually anywhere on your air compressor. For those of you who don't know, these items make it so you can use a small low amperage switch to turn on a large motor without burning out the switch contacts. Simply hook your switched power to the two small terminals. Hook your main power and the motor wires to the large top terminals. Hopefully this review can help someone save some money in this Economy. ## Features - In accordance with U.L.
