The 100-D180B00 contactor is a standard 3-pole industrial contactor manufactured by Allen-Bradley. It is a Bulletin 100-D contactor that can be customized with optional accessories and that can also have key parts replaced. The 100-D180B00 contactor does not come with any auxiliary contacts. The only contacts that it has are its 3 main contacts that are all normally open and that make the connections between the contactor and its power supply. If the 100-D180B00 contactor needs any auxiliary contacts, they can be ordered from the Bulletin 100-D accessories catalog in the form of auxiliary contact blocks. Additionally, the 3 main contacts can be replaced with new ones when they wear out, which keeps the whole 100-D180B00 contactor operating for the longest possible length of time without needing to be completely replaced.

The Allen-Bradley 100-D180B00 3-pole contactor uses a conventional coil with AC voltage and Class B insulation. The contactor’s coil voltage rating is 415 Volts AC at 50 Hertz and 480 Volts AC at 60 Hertz. This contactor cannot support an electronic interface with its conventional coil. It also is not a reversing contactor, and so it should not be used with reversing motors that occasionally need to have their voltage flow direction reversed. The 100-D180B00 contactor’s environmental protection rating is IP 00. This protection rating allows the contactor to protect the operator’s hands and fingertips while it is operating, but it does not give the contactor a significant level of protection from fluids and dust. In environments with significant amounts of fluids and dust, the 100-D180B00 contactor will need to have additional protection from devices like terminal blocks and auxiliary contacts.
