ABB EH-6X-40E Contactor

ABB EH6-40E is a three-pole AC contactor with a 220 V coil that energizes from 50/60 Hz power, designed to reliably switch line-voltage loads in industrial control schemes and motor-start circuits. It is rated for up to 25 A and can interrupt up to 660 V AC, enabling it to start and stop moderate three-phase motors, pumps, fans, and conveyors in panels, while providing a robust mechanical form factor suitable for typical control cabinet layouts. Originating in ABB's EH family (originally ASEA BROWN BOVERI), the EH6-40E is sometimes cataloged as EH-6X-40E in older documentation, and this specific model is listed as discontinued by the manufacturer, an important consideration for sourcing and replacement planning. With a weight around 1.05 lb (0.48 kg) and coil/current ratings aligned to common 220 V, 50/60 Hz installations, the EH6-40E fits standard industrial control needs in facilities already using ABB equipment, serving as a compact, dedicated switch for load control in automated systems.
