Frequently Asked Questions

What cable sizes can I connect to the 22.32.0.230.4420 Finder modular contactor?

This Finder modular contactor accommodates flexible cables up to 6mm² maximum size. The terminal design provides secure connections for both solid and stranded conductors within this range, ensuring reliable electrical contact for the full 25A current rating.

What is the difference between NC and NO configuration in modular contactors?

This 22.32.0.230.4420 features normally closed (NC) contacts, meaning the circuit is complete when the coil is de-energized and opens when 230V is applied to the coil. This is opposite to normally open (NO) contactors and is ideal for fail-safe applications where you want the load to remain energized during normal operation.

What are the mounting dimensions for installation planning?

The contactor measures 17.5mm wide, 88.8mm high, and 60.8mm deep, designed for standard 35mm DIN rail mounting. At just 0.09kg, it's lightweight and requires minimal panel space while maintaining full 25A switching capability for demanding applications.

Can this contactor handle both AC and DC loads with the same coil?

Yes, the 22.32.0.230.4420 features Finder's AC/DC coil technology, allowing it to operate on either 230V AC or 230V DC supply voltage. The silent coil design eliminates noise regardless of the supply type, making it versatile for various control system configurations.
