Overview

The ABB CR463M Mechanically Held Contactor (SKU: CR463M20DNA) delivers precise, reliable power control for industrial and commercial applications requiring latching functionality. Designed by ABB Electrification, this mechanically held contactor supports 2 to 12 normally open (NO) power poles with a 30 amp continuous rating, making it suitable for heavy-duty switching of resistive, inductive, and motor loads. The modular design enables on-site configuration, allowing users to select the exact pole configuration needed—such as 2 NO (CR463M20##A10AA), 4 NO (CR463M40##A10A0 or CR463M40##A10AA), 6 NO (CR463M60##A10AA), 8 NO (CR463M80##A10A0 or CR463M80##A10AA), 10 NO (CR463MB0##A10AA), or 12 NO (CR463MD0##A10AA)—without requiring custom fabrication. Key features include snap-in auxiliary contacts for rapid field expansion and common components shared with ABB’s electrically held contactor series, simplifying inventory and maintenance. The contactor features continuously rated, interchangeable coils compatible with 24–277 VAC, ensuring operational flexibility across global power systems. Finger-safe terminals enhance safety during installation and servicing, while the two-or-three-wire control module provides low input VA for extended wire runs without signal degradation. The module includes built-in delays to filter out transient faults from faulty controllers, reducing nuisance tripping and extending system lifespan. Field configurability is a standout advantage: the CR463M can be converted from a standard electrically held contactor to a mechanically held version using simple, pre-engineered kits that include control modules, latch mechanisms, and auxiliary contacts. This adaptability minimizes downtime and reduces spare parts inventory. Clear labeling on all modules specifies ratings, wire sizes, and torque values, streamlining installation and compliance with NEC/OSHA standards. Manufactured in the US, the CR463M adheres to ABB’s stringent quality controls and is ideal for applications in HVAC systems, lighting controls, motor starters, and industrial automation where latching operation is required for energy efficiency and system reliability.
