ECI electronic contactors are designed for fast
and demanding switching of loads such as
heaters, solenoids, transformers and motors.
ECI Electronic contactors utilize power chip with
LTE (Low Thermal Expansion) technology.
This unique power chip design ensures high
switching capacity and long life.
The contactors are burst fired for reduced EMC
emission, have LED status indicators and accept
universal control voltage ranges.
The units are DIN rail mountable, complete with
heatsink and require no additional components.
Features• Compact modular design complete with
heatsink
• DIN rail mountable
• Easy and quick installation
• Specification according to industry standard
• Available in single phase, dual phase or
three phase version
• Operational current up to 63 A (AC-1),
30 A (AC-3)

Overheat protectionIf required the controller can be protected
against overheating by inserting a thermostat in the slot on the right-hand side of the
controller.
Order: UP 62 thermostat 037N0050
The thermostat is connected in series with
the control circuit of the main contactor.
When the temperature of the heat sink
exceeds 100 °C the main contactor will be
switched OFF. A manual reset is necessary
to restart this circuit.
Mounting instructionThe controller is designed for vertical mounting.
If the controller is mounted horizontally the load
current must be reduced by 50%.
The controller needs no side clearance.
Clearance between two vertical mounted
controller must be minimum 80 mm / 3.15”.
Clearance between controller and top and
bottom walls must be minimum 30 mm / 1.2”.
