Eaton DILM12-10 Contactor, 3-Pole, 1 NO Auxiliary, 230 V AC Coil, 12 A, 5.5 kW 199239

Industrial control panels and motor starters rely on the Eaton DILM12-10 contactor to switch three-phase loads up to 5.5 kW at 400 V. The 230 V AC coil suits standard control circuits, while the screw terminals accept solid or stranded conductors without special tools. A single normally open auxiliary contact provides a status signal or interlock for the next control step.

Why choose it

The DILM12-10 fits directly into Eaton's DILM series, so existing wiring and accessories carry over. Its compact footprint leaves room for additional components in the enclosure, and the clear labelling on the front face speeds up commissioning and fault finding.

Ideal use cases

• Direct-on-line starting of three-phase motors up to 5.5 kW
• Switching resistive heating or lighting loads up to 22 A
• Integration into machine control systems with 230 V AC control voltage

Good to know

For applications with frequent switching, the contactor's electrical endurance of 1.5 million operations at full AC-3 load reduces replacement intervals. The IP20 housing is intended for installation inside a control cabinet or distribution board.
