100-E16EJ200

The 100-E16EJ200 contactor is an Allen-Bradley industrial contactor from the IEC 100 Contactors series. A contactor is similar to a relay in that both are used for switching circuits on or off. A contactor like the 100-E16EJ200 contactor joins 2 poles without a common circuit between them. A relay on the other hand has a common contact that connects to a neutral position. Another difference between the 2 types of devices is that contactors have high voltage ratings (up to 1000 Volts) while relays have lower voltage ratings. For 3-phase AC voltage, the operational current rating for the 100-E16EJ200 contactor is 18 Amps. The control voltage for the electronic coil on the contactor is 20 to 60 Volts AC/DC. Depending on the application requirements, coils with different AC or DC control voltage ratings can be ordered from Allen-Bradley.

The Allen-Bradley 100-E16EJ200 IEC 100 contactor is a 4-pole contactor that has screw terminals. The contactor also has 2 normally-open contacts and 2 normally-closed contacts. For storage, Allen-Bradley recommends a -76 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature range. For contactor operation, Allen-Bradley recommends a -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature range. The contactor should not be operated at altitudes that exceed 3000 meters above sea level. The main contacts on the contactor, the coil terminals, and the auxiliary contacts are all IP2X rated. The 100-E16EJ200 contactor complies with shock ratings per the IEC 60068-2-27 standards and vibration ratings per the IEC 60068-2-6 standards. The insulation class of the electronic coil on the 100-E16EJ200 contactor is Class F. The rated impulse withstand voltage is 6 kilovolts. Contactor installation should only be performed by trained technicians.
