The Allen-Bradley 100-E38KJ200 contactor is a direct-on-line type of contactor that has 4 poles or main contacts, but no auxiliary contacts. The 4 main contacts in this contactor are 2 normally open (NO) contacts and 2 normally closed (NC) contacts. The 100-E38KJ200 direct-on-line contactor is part of the Allen-Bradley IEC 100 Contactors series, specifically part of the Bulletin 100-E contactor product line. It supports AC operation and DC operation. The rated operating current for the 100-E38KJ200 direct-on-line contactor at an ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit is 55 Amps both when it is operating with AC-1 motors that are rated at 690 Volts and when it is operating with general use UL-listed motors with enclosures that are rated at 600 Volts.

The Allen-Bradley 100-E38KJ200 IEC 100 series direct-on-line contactor has coil voltage ratings of 24 to 60 Volts AC and 20 to 60 Volts DC. It is designed to operate with low levels of power consumption. This contactor can be customized with paralleling terminals that can increase its AC-1 load capacity. The paralleling terminals connect contact poles in a parallel setup so that they create a flow path that can handle a larger AC-1 load than normal. If the 100-E38KJ200 direct-on-line contactor is used in a Wye-Delta system, it can be equipped with Wye-Delta power wiring kits. These Wye-Delta power wiring kits have insulated copper bars and they can be used to make line-side phase-to-phase connections, load-side parallel connection, and star-point line side connections. Without any optional accessories, the 100-E38KJ200 direct-on-line contactor has dimensions of 3.15 x 1.77 x 3.98 inches.
