2 Pole Definite Purpose Contactor-240V (Universal)

A 2-pole definite purpose contactor is an electrical switching device designed for specific applications that require control of power circuits. It is typically used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, refrigeration units, compressors, and other industrial equipment.

The "2-pole" designation means that the contactor has two separate sets of contacts that can be controlled independently. Each set of contacts is responsible for controlling the electrical connection of one phase of the power supply. This configuration allows for the control of both the line and load sides of the circuit.

The definite purpose contactor is designed to handle higher currents and voltages compared to general-purpose relays. In this case, the contactor is rated for 240V, indicating that it can handle AC voltages up to 240 Volts.
