TE Connectivity 3100-30Q1008CL Power Contactor

TE Connectivity 3100-30Q1008CL is a three-pole power contactor with a 24 VDC coil and a 50 A rating, part of TE’s 3100 family (legacy Tyco Electronics). This device is designed to switch three‑phase power in industrial control systems, providing a compact, reliable means to remotely control motors, pumps, conveyors, and other high‑current loads from standard control voltages. The 3‑pole configuration supports three‑phase loads in a single enclosure, enabling centralized protection and control within control panels and heavy equipment. With a 24 V DC coil, energizing the coil drives the internal contacts to connect or disconnect the load, offering straightforward integration with common automation and safety circuits found in manufacturing environments. The 3100-30Q1008CL designation communicates its 50 A, 3‑pole, 24 V coil specification, making it a direct replacement option for compatible Tyco/TE setups and a robust choice for medium‑current motor control applications where reliable switching and coordination with contactors, overload relays, and control circuitry are required.
