Allen-Bradley 100-C12KN01 Product Details (English)

Product Description

The Allen-Bradley 100-C12KN01 is a 3-pole IEC contactor designed for controlling electric motors and other loads. It typically features a 12 Amp current rating and a specific coil voltage for operation. The "K" in the model number often indicates a 400V AC coil, and "N01" suggests 1 Normally Closed (NC) auxiliary contact. It's built for industrial environments, offering reliable switching and motor protection when paired with appropriate overload relays.

Product Parameters (Typical, please verify exact specifications for your specific part number and manufacturing date)

• Type: IEC Contactor

• Poles: 3-Pole

• Rated Operating Current (AC-3): 12 A

• Coil Voltage: 400V AC (50/60 Hz) - Note: The 'K' in the part number often signifies a 400V AC coil. Other coil voltages (e.g., 24V AC, 240V AC) are available in the 100-C series, indicated by different letters after C12.

• Modularity: Compatible with a wide range of common accessories like auxiliary contact blocks, thermal, and electronic overload relays for comprehensive motor protection.

• Low Power Consumption: Contributes to energy efficiency.

• Environmental Compliance: Made of environmentally friendly materials and typically RoHS compliant.

Precautions

• Proper Sizing: Always select the contactor with the correct current and voltage ratings for the specific application to avoid overloading and potential damage.

• Overload Protection: For motor applications, always pair the contactor with an appropriate overload relay (thermal or electronic) to protect the motor from overcurrents.

• Wiring: Ensure proper wiring according to local electrical codes and the product's wiring diagrams. Use appropriately sized conductors.

• Coil Voltage: Verify that the coil voltage of the contactor matches the control circuit voltage. Incorrect coil voltage can lead to coil burnout or improper operation.

• Auxiliary Contacts: Understand the configuration of auxiliary contacts (Normally Open/Normally Closed) and how they function within your control circuit.

• Environmental Conditions: Operate the contactor within its specified temperature range and avoid excessive humidity, dust, or corrosive environments.

• Maintenance: Periodically inspect terminals for tightness and ensure the contactor is free from debris.
