Product description

ECI Electronic contactors are designed for applications demanding fast and precise switching. The contactors utilize SCR power chip with new 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 voltages. The units are DIN-rail mountable, complete with heat sink and require no additional components.

Typical applications

ECI electronic contactors are designed for fast and demanding switching of loads such heaters, solenoids, transformers and motors.
