Allen-Bradley 100-C16Z400 Contactor

Allen-Bradley 100-C16Z400 Contactor is a four-pole IEC motor-contactor in the 100-C family, designed for switching three-phase power in industrial control panels. This variant aligns with the 100-C16 lineup, offering four normally open power contacts and a nominal load current rating of 16 A, making it suitable for motor starters in fans, pumps, conveyors, and other three-phase equipment. It uses screw-terminal connections on both the line side and the load side to provide robust, field-wirable connections, and is compatible with a range of auxiliary contacts and interlock options depending on the exact order code. The suffix pattern (including the Z400 family) denotes a specific configuration within the Bulletin 100-C IEC contactors, so verifying the exact coil drive method and voltage from the official specification is important for safe integration. Typical installations include control panels, motor control centers, and automation benches, where the contactor partners with overload protection for reliable motor control. This series is designed for industrial environments and supports standard mounting in panel enclosures; ensure proper derating for temperature and voltage compatibility with your control system.
