What is the contactor?

A contactor is an electromechanical switch whose function is to make or break the connection between the power supply and the load.

It consists of Coil, Spring, Steel Core, Static Contacts, and Dynamic Contacts.

It is electrically controlled by applying a voltage to its coil and is usually powered much lower than the switched circuit.

It is most commonly used with electric motors and lighting applications.
