AC Contactor 220V 16A 2P Modular Energy-Saving DIN Rail Mount
AC Contactor 220V 16A 2P – Modular Energy-Saving DIN Rail Contactor
This compact, modular AC contactor is engineered for both household and light industrial applications. Rated at 220V / 16A with a 2-pole (2P) configuration, it mounts effortlessly on a standard 35mm DIN rail — making it an ideal upgrade for your distribution board or control panel.
Key Features
- Pure Copper Silver Contacts: No copper-clad base points — genuine copper-silver contact points for superior conductivity and long service life.
- Toroidal Autotransformer Coil: The toroidal coil design dramatically reduces holding power consumption, keeping your energy bills low.
- Ultra-Low Noise Operation: Engineered to eliminate the low-frequency buzzing common in standard contactors — ideal for home and quiet commercial environments.
- Fireproof & Temperature-Resistant Housing: Smooth, fire-resistant casing rated for operating temperatures from -5°C to +60°C.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for remote control of lighting, heating, ventilation systems, rolling curtains/shutters, sanitary hot water systems, and card-insertion switching systems.
- CE Certified: Meets IEC 60529 protection standards — built to international quality benchmarks.
- Easy DIN Rail Installation: Tool-free snap-on mounting to standard 35mm DIN rails saves time during panel assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a modular AC contactor and how does it differ from a standard contactor?
A: A modular AC contactor is a compact, DIN rail-mounted switching device designed to fit neatly inside a standard distribution or fuse board. Unlike bulkier industrial contactors, this 2P modular design snaps directly onto a 35mm DIN rail, saving space while still handling up to 16A at 220V AC — making it perfect for both residential and light commercial control panels.
Q: What loads can this 220V 16A 2P AC contactor control?
A: This contactor is suitable for remotely switching a wide range of AC loads including lighting circuits, electric heating elements, ventilation fans, rolling shutter motors, sanitary hot water heaters, and card-insertion power systems. It operates on 50/60 Hz and is rated for up to 100,000 electrical cycles.
Q: How do I install this DIN rail modular contactor?
A: Installation is straightforward — simply snap the contactor onto a standard 35mm DIN rail inside your electrical panel. No special tools are required for mounting. Connect your line and load wiring to the clearly labelled terminals. Always ensure the power is isolated before installation and follow local electrical codes.
Q: Is this contactor CE certified and safe for home use?
A: Yes. This contactor carries CE certification and complies with the IEC 60529 protection standard. Its pollution degree 2 rating and 500V AC insulation voltage make it well-suited for both household and light industrial environments. The fireproof, temperature-resistant housing provides an additional layer of safety.
Q: Why is this contactor described as "energy saving"?
A: The toroidal autotransformer coil design significantly reduces the holding power required to keep the contactor energised compared to conventional electromagnet coils. This translates to measurably lower continuous power draw, which adds up to real energy savings in installations where the contactor remains closed for extended periods.
