VIOX Excellent material selection, standard Design
Super Energy-Saving
In the working state, the contactor needs to be powered for a long time to keep the coil energized. During this process, a large amount of electrical energy is consumed. The B series contactor, with its optimized electromagnetic system, greatly reduces the holding power of the contactor.
Reduced size by 20%
The width of the B series contactor is much smaller than that of traditional contactors, saving installation space for users, and it can be conveniently installed in standard distribution boxes.
Premium Material Selection
The foundation of product quality lies in the choice of raw materials. The B series contactors are made from carefully selected raw material suppliers, both domestic and international, to achieve reliable quality through premium materials.

KNOWLEDGE About BUSBAR
What is Modular Contactor?
A modular contactor is an electromechanical switching device designed for DIN rail mounting in distribution boards. It’s used for remote control of lighting, heating, ventilation, and other electrical loads in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Modular Contactor Operation Principles
Modular contactors operate through a straightforward electromagnetic mechanism designed for efficient and reliable circuit control. At their core, they consist of three main components: a coil, contacts, and an enclosure. When the coil is energized by a control voltage, it generates a magnetic field that pulls the movable contacts toward fixed contacts, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow to the connected load. Upon de-energizing the coil, the magnetic field collapses, and a spring mechanism pushes the contacts apart, breaking the circuit.
This mechanism enables modular contactors to handle high-power circuits using low-power control signals. They are available in Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) configurations, providing flexibility for different applications. Their rapid open-and-close action ensures precise switching, making them ideal for managing lighting systems, HVAC units, and motor loads in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Compact and Modular Design of Modular Contactor
Modular contactors are characterized by their compact, standardized design optimized for efficient installation and space utilization. Typically measuring 18-54mm in width for 2-4 pole configurations, these devices are significantly smaller than traditional contactors, allowing for higher density in electrical panels. Their construction features a durable plastic or metal enclosure with integrated DIN rail mounting clips for easy installation.
Key physical attributes include:
Standardized dimensions compatible with DIN rail systems
Modular expansion capabilities for auxiliary contacts and timer modules
Touch-safe terminal designs to reduce accidental contact risks
Advanced terminal configurations like cage clamp technology for secure wire retention
Integrated arc suppression chambers to extend operational lifespan
Optional manual override switches for direct control
These physical characteristics enable modular contactors to offer superior flexibility and safety in a wide range of electrical control applications, from residential lighting systems to industrial motor controls.
What’s the difference between a modular contactor and a regular contactor?
Modular contactors are specifically designed for DIN rail mounting with standardized dimensions to fit in distribution boards. They typically have lower power ratings than industrial contactors and are optimized for building automation applications.
How do I select the right modular contactor for my application?
Consider these factors:
- Current rating (based on connected load)
- Number of poles required (1P, 2P, 3P, or 4P)
- Contact configuration (NO/NC requirements)
- Control voltage availability
- Frequency of switching operations
- Operating environment conditions
Can VIOX modular contactors be used with different types of lighting loads?
Yes! Our selection tables provide detailed information on maximum lamp quantities for various lighting types, including:
- Incandescent and halogen lamps
- Fluorescent tubes with ferromagnetic or electronic ballasts
- Compact fluorescent lamps
- LED lighting
- Sodium vapor lamps
What control voltages are available for VIOX modular contactors?
Standard options include:
- 12V AC/DC
- 24V AC/DC
- 48V AC/DC
- 110V AC/DC
- 230V AC/DC (220-240V)
Custom coil voltages are available upon request.
What is the electrical endurance of VIOX modular contactors?
Our modular contactors are designed for a minimum of 100,000 electrical switching operations under rated load conditions, with mechanical endurance exceeding 1,000,000 operations.
Can VIOX modular contactors be used for motor control?
Yes, our contactors are rated for AC-3 applications (squirrel-cage motors). Refer to the AC-3 column in our technical specifications for appropriate sizing based on motor power requirements.
Modular contactors Applications and Evolution
Modular contactors have a rich history dating back to 1973 when the world’s first modular contactor was introduced. Since then, they have become essential components in various electrical systems, particularly in building automation and industrial applications.
Key applications of modular contactors include:
Lighting control in residential and commercial buildings
HVAC system management
Electric motor control in industrial machinery
E-mobility and electric vehicle charging systems
Solar panel control in residential installations
Pool and jacuzzi control systems
The evolution of modular contactors has led to significant improvements in energy efficiency, with modern designs consuming as little as 0.5-2W of holding power compared to 5-10W for traditional contactors. This advancement, coupled with their compact size and versatility, has made modular contactors increasingly popular in both residential and industrial settings, offering a balance of performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
Modular contactors Installation Pitfalls to Avoid
When installing modular contactors, several common mistakes can lead to performance issues or safety hazards:
Incorrect voltage selection: Using a contactor with a coil voltage that doesn’t match the control circuit can cause failure to energize or coil burnout.
Improper wire sizing: Selecting wires with inadequate cross-sectional area for the contactor’s current rating can lead to overheating and connection failures.
Insufficient torque: Failing to tighten wire connections to the specified torque values can result in loose connections and potential arcing.
Neglecting ventilation: Installing contactors in poorly ventilated areas can cause overheating, reducing their lifespan and reliability.
Ignoring environmental factors: Failing to consider factors like humidity, dust, and temperature can lead to premature contactor failure.
To avoid these issues, always verify compatibility, follow manufacturer guidelines for wire sizing and torque specifications, ensure proper ventilation, and consider the installation environment carefully.
Industrial Modular Contactor Benefits
Modular contactors offer significant advantages in industrial systems, making them increasingly popular for electrical control applications:
Energy Efficiency: Modular contactors consume up to 70% less energy than traditional models, reducing operational costs and heat generation in electrical panels.
Compact Design: Their space-saving construction allows for easier integration into switchboards, crucial in modern installations where space is limited.
Flexibility: Modular contactors can be customized with various pole counts and current ratings, adapting to specific application requirements.
Enhanced Safety: Advanced features like overload protection, short circuit protection, and voltage surge suppression ensure system and personnel safety.
Easy Installation and Maintenance: The modular design simplifies installation and allows for quick replacement of individual units without affecting the entire system.
Reliability: Designed to meet strict industry standards, modular contactors offer long-term performance with minimal maintenance, ideal for critical industrial applications.
These advantages make modular contactors an essential component for improving efficiency, safety, and reliability in industrial automation and control systems.
