This contactor supports 2 to 12 poles with standard assembled forms, offering 74 unique circuit combinations through single or double pole configurations. Power poles are easily configurable as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) by rotating 180 degrees, eliminating the need for separate part numbers. Rated for 30A general-purpose contacts, 15A motor duty, and A600 pilot duty, it meets a wide range of application demands including low-level control circuits down to 12V, 5mA. Key features include contact position indication via a protruding button for visual status confirmation, enclosed contacts for superior contaminant resistance, and finger/back-of-hand safe power terminals. The device supports up to two #8 AWG wires per terminal for robust field wiring and includes a standard base compatible with all pole configurations. Auxiliary contacts (A600 rated) are plug-in and position-dependent: NO on the left side, NC on the right. The CR463L20ANA operates quietly with low magnetic noise and features quick-view coil voltage identification for simplified installation and maintenance. Designed for industrial environments, the CR463L20ANA offers fast three-point mounting, combination slotted/#2 Phillips screws for tool flexibility, and a manual operator for emergency override. Its durable construction and easy-to-read rating label ensure long-term reliability and serviceability. Ideal for control panels, motor starters, and automation systems requiring flexible, high-reliability switching solutions. The contactor is manufactured in the US and carries the ABB Electrification brand, ensuring compliance with industrial standards.
