Allen-Bradley 100-C12Z10

The Allen-Bradley 100-C12Z10 is a three-pole IEC contactor in the 100-C family with a 24 V DC coil, built to switch three-phase loads up to 25 A at voltages up to 600 V AC. This Ser. A model features three normally open main contacts and auxiliary signaling options (A600, P600) for control logic, enabling simple interlocks and feedback in motor-control circuits. It carries a 5 kA short-circuit rating at 600 V and adheres to IEC 60947-4-1 / EN 60947-4-1 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard control panels and safety requirements. Weighing roughly 350 g, the unit is designed for compact installation in industrial control panels, providing reliable switching performance in demanding environments. Originating from Switzerland, this 100-C12Z10 variant is commonly used in IEC-based motor-control installations where a DC-coil contactor is needed to coordinate switching of three-phase equipment while offering auxiliary contact signaling for status feedback and interlocking. The combination of a 24 V DC coil, solid 25 A main-contacts rating, and robust short-circuit capability make it suitable for tasks such as motor starting, conveyors, pumps, and fans in automated systems.
