LS Electric AC Contactor 40Amp 110VAC 50/60Hz Magnetic Contactor DIN Rail UL

Description

A three-pole magnetic contactor rated for 40 A (approximately) at AC-3 duty in the MC-40A frame, designed with a 110/120 V AC coil (50/60 Hz) for switching moderate industrial loads on DIN-rail or panel-mount.

LS Electric AC Contactor 40Amp 110VAC 50/60Hz Magnetic Contactor DIN Rail UL

This model stands out as a solid “mid-small motor” contactor within the Metasol family: good current margin, broad coil-voltage support, DIN-rail capable mounting (helpful in panel-dense applications). It bridges the gap between compact undersized contactors and large heavy-duty ones. If your load is around the 20-40 A range (or motors up to ~18.5 kW depending on voltage) this is one of the economical go-to options. But it’s not ultra-heavy duty, so don’t expect monster motor starters.

Pros

• Rated 40 A for AC-3 duty (at 200/240 V) according to Metasol catalog.
• Coil available for 110/120 V AC 50/60 Hz – matches standard control supply in many panels.
• DIN-rail & panel mounting flexibility (one-touch connection with DIN rail per spec) in the locus of Metasol – convenient for tight panel layouts.

Limitations

• The documented coil rating is 120V AC; if your system is strictly 110V or off-nominal, you’ll need to check tolerance or alternate coil version.
• Standard protection rating is IP20 (per vendor listing) – if your environment has dust, water, or harsher conditions you’ll need enclosure or upgrade.

Typical use cases

• Motor starter for a ~20-40 A three-phase motor: conveyor, medium blower/fan, pump.
• General industrial panel switching of moderate loads (heaters, solenoid banks) where 110/120 V AC coil control is required.
• OEM machine control where panel space is limited and desirable to have DIN-rail mounting but still need decent current rating.
