FAQs

What is the maximum load this contactor can switch?

The Finder 22.32.0.230.4340 is rated for a maximum operating current of 25A at 250VAC.

Can this contactor be used with both AC and DC control signals?

Yes, it features a 230V AC/DC coil, making it compatible with both AC and DC control voltages.

What type of mounting is required for this contactor?

It is designed for mounting on a 35mm DIN rail (TH35) according to DIN EN 60715.

What is the purpose of the Auto-On-Off selector switch?

The selector switch allows for manual operation of the contactor (ON/OFF) independent of the control signal, which is useful for testing or maintenance.

Can additional contacts be added to this contactor?

Yes, auxiliary switches with configurations like 1 NO + 1 NC or 2 NO can be installed on the side of the contactor to expand its functionality.

What is the IP protection rating of this contactor?

The contactor has an IP20 degree of protection, meaning it is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm but is not protected against water.

What is the contact material used?

The contact material is AgSnO2 (Silver Tin Oxide), known for its durability and good performance in switching applications.

Troubleshooting

Contactor does not energize

Verify the 230V AC/DC coil voltage supply is present and correct at the coil terminals. Check wiring connections for looseness or damage. Ensure the control circuit is properly activated.

Contactor remains energized (fails to drop out)

Check for any residual voltage in the control circuit. Ensure the control signal is correctly de-energized. Inspect for any mechanical obstructions preventing the contacts from opening.

Overheating of the contactor

Ensure the load current does not exceed the 25A rating. Check for proper ventilation around the contactor. Verify all connections are tight, as loose connections can cause increased resistance and heat.

LED status indicator not lighting up

Confirm the coil voltage is applied. The LED typically indicates coil energization, so if the coil is powered correctly and the LED is out, there might be an internal issue with the indicator or the contactor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact size saves panel space.
  • Dual AC/DC coil voltage enhances flexibility.
  • Clear visual indicators for operational status.
  • Durable silver tin oxide (AgSnO2) contacts.
  • Option for auxiliary contacts for more complex logic.

Cons

  • IP20 rating requires protection from environmental factors.
  • Limited to 2 normally open contacts without auxiliary switches.
  • Not suitable for very high power loads beyond its 25A rating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Install the contactor on a standard 35mm DIN rail (TH35) in accordance with DIN EN 60715.
  2. Wiring: Connect the power load to the main contacts and the control circuit to the coil terminals. Ensure wiring complies with local electrical codes and standards.
  3. Auxiliary Switches (Optional): If using auxiliary switches, they can be mounted on the side of the contactor.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Operates with 230V AC/DC coil voltage. Ensure your control voltage matches.
  • Load: Rated for loads up to 25A at 250VAC. Verify your load does not exceed these limits.
  • Enclosure: Designed for use within control panels or enclosures providing at least IP20 protection.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Keep the contactor clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquids.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the contactor to prevent overheating.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
