CI-tronic™ Electronic contactors
Type ECI
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)
• LED Status indication
• Line voltage up to 600 V AC
• Universal control voltage
• Burst firing (zero cross)
• IP20 protection
• CE, cULus and C-tick approvals
• SCR power chip with LTE technology
• Built-in varistor protection
