Description

LS Electric Metasol – MC-18b

3-pole magnetic contactor rated 18 A (AC-3); commonly supplied with 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary and screw terminals, available in multiple coil voltages. Functionally similar to MC-18a with slight variant differences in accessory fit or terminal layout.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

MC-18b is a practical, well-specified small contactor for light motor loads and panel switching. It’s often the reseller default for 18 A class requirements and is handy for tight spaces and DIN-rail mounting. Check exact PN for auxiliary arrangements and coil voltage.

Limitations

  • Limited to 18 A AC-3 duty; not for larger motors.
