Allen-Bradley 100-C12D01 Three Phase Contactor

Allen-Bradley 100-C12D01 is a compact 3-pole IEC-style contactor designed to control three-phase motors and other AC loads in industrial control panels. It carries a 12 A AC-3 rating per pole and is actuated by a 120 V AC coil, making it compatible with standard PLC outputs and control circuits that energize control relays and starters. The three main contacts switch all three phases, with line-side screw terminals that simplify field wiring and installation in panelboards or motor control centers. This 100-C12D01 variant is commonly used in applications such as conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools where a small, reliable starter is needed to provide safe, momentary power to three-phase equipment. As part of the 100-C family, it integrates with other 100-series components in modular motor starter assemblies and supports typical industrial control configurations that rely on straightforward actuation and durable performance.
