ABB EH-16-22 Heavy Duty Industrial Magnetic Contactor

ABB EH-16-22 Heavy Duty Industrial Magnetic Contactor is a three-pole AC contactor designed to switch heavy three-phase motor loads in industrial control panels. This EH-series device, originally developed by ASEA and later integrated into ABB's line, is typically specified for up to 600 VAC and a 40 A load, making it suitable for motor starters, conveyors, pumps, and other high-current power circuits in demanding environments. Market listings confirm coil configurations including 110/120 VAC at 50/60 Hz, and some variants are shown with 380/440 VAC coils, illustrating the range of coil voltages available for the EH‑16‑22 family. The compact, rugged construction supports reliable operation in panel-mounted motor control centers and can be paired with appropriate overload protection and auxiliary contacts to match the application. While exact electrical ratings and coil options can vary by regional variant and order code, the EH‑16‑22 is widely used where a robust, heavy‑duty electromagnetically actuated switch is required to reliably interrupt and connect motor circuits. For precise compatibility, verify the specific coil voltage, amperage, and mounting footprint of the exact part you intend to purchase.
