Applications / Use Case

The Allen Bradley 100-C16EJ10 contactor is specifically designed for squirrel-cage motor starting and stopping applications in the AC-3 utilization category, making it suitable for three-phase induction motors up to 7.5 kW. Common applications include conveyor systems, pump controls, fan motors, and general-purpose machinery where reliable on/off switching is required. The 24V DC electronic coil configuration makes this contactor particularly valuable in automated manufacturing environments where control signals originate from PLCs, safety controllers, or other low-voltage DC control systems. The integrated diode suppression protects sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes during coil de-energization, preventing damage to control circuits. Industrial sectors including packaging, material handling, HVAC systems, food and beverage processing, and water treatment facilities frequently deploy this contactor for motor control duties. The compact dimensions allow multiple units to be mounted side-by-side in control panels, optimizing space utilization in densely populated enclosures. The single normally open auxiliary contact enables interlocking with other control devices, status indication, or feedback to supervisory control systems. With its global certifications and robust construction, the 100-C16EJ10 performs reliably in demanding environments ranging from machine tool controls to building automation systems.
