Special Features | NF..K contactor relays are used for switching auxiliary and control circuits. NF contactor relays include an electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage Uc min. ... Uc max. Only four coils cover control voltages between 24...500 V 50/60 Hz or 20...500 V DC. NF contactor relays can manage large control voltage variations. One coil can be used for different control voltages used worldwide without any coil change. NF contactor relays have built-in surge protection and do not require additional surge suppressors. NF..K include Push-in Spring terminals. Only one push is all you need for extremely fast wiring: faster than ever installation, easier than ever wiring, reliable as ever connections.
