Allen-Bradley 74A16 Coil

Allen-Bradley 74A16 Contactor/Starter Coil is the replacement coil used in Allen-Bradley contactors and starters that accept the 74A16 coil. This AC coil is rated for 550 VAC at 60 Hz and features screw-clamp terminals for reliable wiring in panel installations. The coil serves as the actuating element inside the contactor: when the control voltage is applied, it energizes the magnetic core to move the contact set and switch the connected load, typically used to control AC motors, conveyors, pumps, and other automation equipment. The 74A16 designation identifies the specific coil family and fits compatible Allen-Bradley devices designed to accept that coil style; verify compatibility with the exact contactor or starter model before installation. The screw-terminal layout provides straightforward field wiring and maintenance, matching standard electrical installation practices in industrial settings. This coil is a straightforward replacement option for maintenance and replacement projects where a 550 VAC, 60 Hz control coil is specified, helping restore or sustain motor control circuits without changing the rest of the contactor assembly. When replacing, always confirm that the coil voltage, frequency, and terminal configuration align with your control circuit and that your enclosure and wiring practices meet applicable electrical codes.
