213847-3

213847-3 Contacts - Multi Purpose are a type of components used commonly in a variety of applications for controlling and signaling functions. They can be used as either passive, controlling or altering the electric current, or active, where their own current is controlled or changed. The availability of a wide variety of contact materials, mounting styles, and coil and actuation configurations provides users with the flexibility to choose the right contacts for their particular purpose.

In terms of application, 213847-3 Contacts - Multi Purpose are mainly used for controlling motors and generators, relays, switchgear, and other general purpose applications. For controlling motors and generators, these contacts provide reliable performance in switching currents from 0.3 to 5 A at 250 VDC or 600 VAC with no risk of arcing. They are also very reliable and durable for controlling and signaling in switchgears, and relay applications. In terms of materials, these contacts are usually made of copper, silver, or gold, depending on the application.

The working principle of 213847-3 Contacts - Multi Purpose can be simplified as follows. These contacts are activated and opened or closed by the pressure of a plunger, or magnetically controlled plunger, and spring. When the plunger is pressed, the contact opens or closes. The contacts are designed so that when they open, no arcing occurs, and the voltage or current is switched off instantly. When the plunger is released, the contacts are opened. The spring pressure ensures that when the circuit is energized, the contacts remain open. If the contact is in an off state for too long, the spring mechanism will reset the contacts to their original off state.

In conclusion, 213847-3 Contacts - Multi Purpose are a type of components used commonly in a variety of applications for controlling and signaling functions. The flexibility of their various contact materials, mounting styles, and coil and actuation configurations makes them the perfect choice for a variety of applications. Their working principle is very simple and reliable, and their ability to switch voltage or current instantaneously with no risk of arcing makes them perfect for controlling motors and generators, switchgears, and relays.
