Overview

The ABB CR463L Electrically Held Contactors (SKU: CR463LB0AJA44A1) provide reliable 30A switching for industrial control applications. These contactors are designed for Type 1 enclosures and offer exceptional circuit flexibility with 2 to 12 poles, enabling up to 74 different circuit combinations. Power poles can be easily reconfigured from Normally Open (NO) to Normally Closed (NC) by rotating them 180°, without the need for relabeling. The power poles are rated for 30A general use, 15A motor duty, and A600 pilot duty, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of tasks including lighting, HVAC, motor control, and signaling circuits. Constructed for durability, the CR463L series features enclosed contacts that resist contaminants, ensuring consistent reliability even in challenging industrial settings. The robust pole terminals accommodate up to two #8 AWG wires for secure field wiring. For enhanced operator safety, the power terminals are finger and back-of-hand safe. Installation and maintenance are simplified by the manual operator and a fast, sure three-point mounting system. Coil voltage is easily identifiable, and the coil is designed for quick replacement, minimizing downtime. Low magnetic noise contributes to quiet operation, a benefit in control panels located near sensitive areas. Auxiliary contacts, also rated A600, are suitable for low-level circuits down to 12V, 5mA. Plug-in auxiliary contacts offer NO functionality when mounted on the left side of the base and NC when mounted on the right. The CR463L series is compatible with ABB pilot devices, such as H-O-A selector switches. The standard base design ensures interchangeability across all pole configurations, simplifying inventory management. These contactors comply with UNSPSC 39121529 standards and are manufactured in the US.

How to Install the ABB CR463LB0AJA44A1 Contactor

Step-by-step guide to mounting and wiring the CR463L contactor in industrial control panels.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Crimping tool

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, #8 AWG wires, Cable ties

  1. Mount the contactor to the DIN rail

    Position the CR463L on a standard 35mm DIN rail. Align the mounting slot with the rail and press firmly until it snaps into place. Ensure the contactor is securely attached to prevent movement during operation.

  2. Configure power poles for NO/NC operation

    If required, rotate the power poles 180° to change between normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) configurations. Ensure the contact position indicator aligns correctly with the desired state.

  3. Connect power wiring

    Insert up to two #8 AWG wires into each pole terminal. Tighten the combination slotted/#2 Phillips screws to 10-12 in-lb torque. Use cable ties to secure wiring and maintain organization within the control panel.

  4. Install auxiliary contacts

    Plug in auxiliary contacts on the left (NO) or right (NC) side of the base as required. Ensure the contacts are fully seated and the polarity matches the application needs.

  5. Verify coil voltage and operation

    Check the quick-view coil voltage indicator to confirm the correct coil is installed. Apply power and verify the contact position indicator (button) responds correctly to control signals.
