The 100-E116EN11 contactor is an IEC 100 Contactors series and Bulletin 100-E MSC-E series contactor from Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. It has a 116-Amp AC-3 operating current rating at 400 Volts and an ambient temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. It features a standard AC/DC electronic “EN” coil with a control voltage range of 250 to 500 Volts AC and DC. The operating frequencies for the AC voltage are 50 and 60 Hertz. The 100-E116EN11 contactor includes a PLC interface that offers direct communication with the PLC in certain applications. The PLC interface is powered by a 24 Volts DC power supply with a 10-milliamp current rating. The operating times of the coil include 20 to 31 milliseconds of closing delay time and 24 to 34 milliseconds of opening delay time.

The 100-E116EN11 direct-on line AC and DC-operated contactor come with bus bar connection terminals. The electrical conductor used at the main contacts terminal should have a cross-section of 10 to 95 square millimeters and a tightening torque of 8 N-m. The 100-E116EN11 contactor is a 3-pole contactor with 3 normally open main contacts and 2 auxiliary contacts that include one normally open contact and one normally closed contact. The 100-E116EN11 contactor supports AC-1 and AC-3 applications. The 100-E116EN11 contactor has a maximum switching frequency of 300 operations per hour for AC-1 and AC-3 applications, and 150 operations per hour in AC-4 applications. It has a rated AC-3 operating power of up to 55 kilowatts at 1000 Volts and it can operate at up to 100 Horsepower with AC motors rated at 575 Volts and 60 Hertz. The contactor has a height of 5.91 inches, a width of 3.54 inches, a depth of 5.61 inches with the PLC input, and a depth of 4.96 inches without it.
