A broad operating temperature range between -25°C and +60°C means it can withstand harsh environments. You can use this component to signal indication and alarm systems in your control panel.

• Surge voltage resistance of 6kV to withstand current overloads

This component has a mechanical service life of 10 million switching cycles, so you can rely on it for long-term performance. For added durability, it has a contact reliability rating of one incorrect switching operation in 100 million operations, minimising the risk of failure in demanding conditions.

Thanks to the snap-on mounting, you can simply clip it onto the contactor for tool-free installation. Its compact dimensions of 10 (W) x 80 (H) x 71mm (D) will fit easily in a busy setup.
