The 100-E16KD01 contactor is a 3-pole AC and DC-operated direct-on-line contactor that has been designed by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. This contactor has been included in the IEC 100 series of contactors and it is intended to operate in control applications that involve motors and require a durable contactor for heavy-duty operation. This contactor conforms to the IEC/EN 60947 standards and it can be operated at high voltages. It comes with high thermal and switching capacities that provide reliable operations and a long operating life regardless of the environment in which it is installed. The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-E16KD01 3-pole AC and DC-operated direct-on-line contactor provides mirror contact performance. This feature is required in feedback circuits for most modern applications. This contactor also comes with electronically controlled coils, whose main purpose is to reduce pick-up currents by as much as 80 percent.

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-E16KD01 3-pole AC and DC-operated direct-on-line contactor comes with one normally-closed auxiliary contact and it can operate at a current rating of 30 Amps with an ambient temperature rating of 40 degrees Celsius. This contactor has a Horsepower output rating of 5 to 15 Horsepower with a frequency of 60 Hertz and a kilowatt output rating of 4 to 9 kilowatts with a frequency of 50 Hertz. This contactor operates with a voltage range of 100 to 250 Volts AC/DC for the standard voltage. The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 100-E16KD01 3-pole AC and DC-operated direct-on-line contactor can be installed on a panel or DIN Rail, depending on the requirements of the application. If there are high levels of vibrations and shocks in the application process, it is recommended to secure the contactor on a panel.
