The 100-E146EN11L contactor is an Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 3-pole direct-on-line type of contactor. This contactor has been manufactured as part of the Allen-Bradley IEC 100 Contactors series in the 100-E product line. The 100-E146EN11L 3-pole direct-on-line contactor is one of the 100-E contactors that has 2 built-in auxiliary contacts (1 normally open contact and 1 normally closed contact), and one of the 100-E contactors that also has built-in terminal lugs. Other IEC 100 and 100-E series contactors need to have external sets of terminal lugs installed when they need to host more terminal connections than standard, but the 100-E146EN11L 3-pole direct-on-line contactor comes with its own terminal lugs pre installed as one of its standard features. It can support a variety of other devices that are optional in special applications.

One of the key optional devices that the Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-E146EN11L IEC 100 series 3-pole direct-on-line contactor is compatible with is a mechanical interlock device that can connect it to another contactor in a system for special application requirements. Additionally, the contactor that the mechanical interlocking device connects to the 100-E146EN11L 3-pole direct-on-line contactor does not need to be the same size as the 100-E146EN11L contactor in order for the 2 contactors to work together. Another key optional device that the 100-E146EN11L 3-pole direct-on-line contactor supports is a terminal shield with an IP 20 protection rating that is meant to be installed between the contactor and the Allen-Bradley 193-E overload relay in the system for safety. The 100-E146EN11L direct-on-line contactor uses an AC/DC electronic coil with a voltage range of 250 to 500 Volts AC/DC (with 50/60 Hertz AC frequency).
