Space‑limited relay/contactor functions
The ABB KC6‑40E 220‑240 V DC is a compact miniature contactor relay designed for use in industrial, commercial, and residential electrical control systems. It belongs to the ABB KC6 series of mini contactor relays and features a DC‑operated coil for control from 220 – 240 V DC supply. The device provides four normally open (4 NO) contact poles, making it suitable for switching control and signal circuits, small loads, or auxiliary switching tasks where space is limited. The relay has screw‑terminal connections and a low‑power hum‑free coil, and is engineered for reliable performance with long mechanical life. Typical applications include control panels, automation systems, power distribution, and motor control circuits where efficient signal switching is required.
