MX Mini Contactors

MX Mini Contactors are designed for panels where panel space is a constraint. The contactors have a compact
design and exhibit reliable performance even in smaller space. The range is suitable for both industrial and
commercial applications for motor loads up to 5.5 kW and electromagnetic loads up to 4A.
