Overview

The ABB CR463L Electrically Held Contactors (SKU: CR463L20AUA) deliver precise power control for industrial applications requiring high reliability and flexible configurations. These contactors support 2 to 12 poles with 74 distinct circuit combinations via single or double pole power poles, enabling tailored solutions for complex control systems. Each unit features a 30A current rating with power poles rated for general use (30A), motor loads (15A), and pilot duty (A600), ensuring compatibility across diverse applications. The contact position indicator provides clear visual feedback—protruding buttons signal closed contacts—eliminating ambiguity during operation and maintenance. Side-access field power wiring simplifies installation and reduces downtime, while the standard base accommodates all pole configurations for streamlined deployment. Robust pole terminals accept up to two #8 AWG wires, ensuring secure, high-current connections even in harsh environments. Power poles are easily reconfigurable from Normally Open (NO) to Normally Closed (NC) by unlatching and rotating 180 degrees, reducing inventory needs and accelerating system adjustments. Enclosed contacts resist contaminants, enhancing reliability in dusty or corrosive settings. Auxiliary contacts (A600 rated) support low-level circuits down to 12V, 5mA, with plug-in NO (left side) and NC (right side) configurations for flexible control logic. Finger and back-of-hand safe power terminals prioritize operator safety, while the quick-view coil voltage indicator and easy-change coil mechanism simplify maintenance. Low magnetic noise ensures quiet operation, critical for noise-sensitive environments. The CR463L series is available in standard and oversized Type 1 enclosures, with configurations like CR463L30A*A10A0 (3 NO poles) and CR463L20A*A10A0 (2 NO poles) for precise application matching. Combination slotted/#2 Phillips screws and a three-point mounting system enable fast, secure installation.
  • 30A current rating with 74 circuit combinations (2-12 poles, single/double pole options)
  • Power poles rated for 30A general, 15A motor, and A600 pilot duty; reconfigurable NO/NC via 180° rotation
  • Side-access field power wiring and standard base for all pole configurations
