The Allen-Bradley 104-C60D02 Reversing Contactor is a durable and reliable electro-mechanical device from the 104 IEC Safety Contactors series that is used to provide power for motors in a wide variety of industrial applications. More than a single contactor, the Allen-Bradley 104-C60D02 Reversing Contactor is a set of 2 independent contractors that have been combined to form a single device for convenience and efficiency. These contactors are connected to the same motor in a parallel formation, but with the wiring to terminals L1 and L3 installed between them with the goal of providing the electrical voltage required to rotate the motor in the forward and reverse directions when it is controlled by the individual contactors.  The wiring between the contactors and the motors can be configured in either the wye or delta connection styles.

The Allen-Bradley 104-C60D02 Reversing Contactor is used for applications where motors need to be able to rotate in the forward and backward directions for different stages of the machine operation process. With a single component for powering up the motor, the installation and troubleshooting processes in the application are simplified. The Allen-Bradley 104-C60D02 Reversing Contactor can be installed using a DIN Rail or a panel, and it is usually recommended to use panel installation in order to maintain a dry and clean operation environment. Reducing exposure to humidity and severe temperature variations is vital for extending the operating lifespan of the reversing contactor in an installation. Only properly trained electrical technicians should be allowed to perform maintenance operations to the reversing contactor while following all the recommended safety practices such as using  the appropriate locking and tagging procedures.
