The 104-E146KN22L contactor is an AC/DC reversing contactor that has been included in the IEC 104 and Bulletin 104-E series of contactors manufactured by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. This contactor is a reversing contactor, which means it is used in applications with motors that require the motors to reverse their voltage flow or polarity, and it is the contactor’s job to perform the reversing functions. This contactor has been designed with environmentally friendly materials and to use energy efficiently. This contactor can be used in an operating temperature range of -40 to 70 degrees Celsius and at a maximum altitude of 3000 meters above sea level. The Allen-Bradley 104-E146KN22L AC/DC contactor can operate in applications with voltage ranges between the 250 and 500 Volts AC/DC. When working with the AC voltage, the contactor’s frequency needs to be between 50 and 60 Hertz. The contactor supports a current rating of up to 225 Amps at a temperature of up to 40 degrees Celsius. 

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 104-E146KN22L AC/DC contactor from the IEC 104 and Bulletin 104-E contactor series can be mounted on either a DIN Rail or a mounting panel according to the application’s specifications and requirements. It comes with 5 contacts which are 3 main contacts, 1 normally open (N.O.) auxiliary contact, and 1 normally closed (N.C.) auxiliary contact. Putting this contactor into operation and the whole wiring process for the contactor are simple and do not require special tools other than a screwdriver. Unlike many of the other contactors from the same series, the 104-E146KN22L AC/DC contactor includes built-in terminal lugs that provide additional connection points to the contactor. This contactor can also host a PLC interface which can improve its control features during operations with more sophisticated control and application options. The IEC 104 series includes an accessories catalog full of spare parts and accessories that are meant to improve the functioning of the Allen-Bradley 104-E146KN22L AC/DC contactor.
