The Allen-Bradley 104-E116ED22L IEC 104 series reversing contactor is a specialized version of the basic Allen-Bradley 104-E116ED22 IEC 104 series reversing contactor. The 104-E116ED22L reversing contactor has most of the same features as the 104-E116ED22 reversing contactor, but the letter “L” at the end of the 104-E116ED22L reversing contactor’s catalog number signifies one key difference between it and the original contactor model, which is that the 104-E116ED22L contactor comes with built-in terminal lugs while the original 104-E116ED22 contactor does not. Built-in terminal lugs increase the number of connections that the 104-E116ED22L reversing contactor can host, and because they are built in, the users do not have to order separate sets of terminal lugs and install them on the contactor.

The Allen-Bradley 104-E116ED22L IEC 104 series reversing contactor with built-in terminal lugs can be linked to another contactor with a mechanical interlock device. The mechanical interlock allows the linked contactors to operate in tandem. With a mechanical interlock installed, the dimensions of the 104-E116ED22L reversing contactor are 150 x 180 x 126 millimeters or 5.9 x 7.1 x 1.3 inches (excluding the connected contactor). This reversing contactor has 5 contacts in total, and they consist of 3 main contacts and 2 auxiliary contacts. The 3 main contacts are all open and so is 1 of the auxiliary contacts, while the other auxiliary contact is normally closed. The 104-E116ED22L reversing contactor has been designed to be an environmentally friendly device with its compact design, its efficient functioning, and its low power requirements, and because it is manufactured out of environmentally friendly materials and components.
