Eaton DILM38-10 Power Contactor, 230 V AC 50 Hz / 240 V AC 60 Hz Coil, 3-Pole, 38 A, 1 NO Auxiliary Contact 112428

In industrial control panels, switching high-current loads reliably is critical. The Eaton DILM38-10 power contactor solves this by providing a robust 3-pole switching solution for motors up to 18.5 kW at 400 V AC. Its 230 V AC 50 Hz / 240 V AC 60 Hz coil ensures compatibility with standard control circuits, while the integrated 1 NO auxiliary contact supports interlocking and signaling functions.

Who is it for

This contactor is intended for panel builders, maintenance engineers, and machine OEMs who need a dependable component for motor starting, heating control, or lighting loads in industrial environments. It suits applications requiring frequent switching and long service life.
