Frequently Asked Questions
Does this contactor operate on AC or DC control voltage?
The nameplate specifies Cat. 4102 DC COIL. It is built specifically for DC control circuit applications.
What terminals are provided on the auxiliary contact block?
The side-mounted L-56 auxiliary contact block provides three terminal points marked C (Common), N-O (Normally Open), and N-C (Normally Closed).
Are mounting hardware or documentation included?
Not included. This listing is for the contactor assembly as shown.
What enclosure or equipment does this baseplate match?
The baseplate is factory-stamped SWGR and features standard FPE industrial keyhole slots designed to drop directly into compatible Federal Pacific switchgear and starter enclosures without drilling additional mounting holes.
Built when switchgear iron was thick and contact blocks were serviceable by hand, this FPE contactor drops right into place to keep a legacy motor running.
