What Is a Definite Purpose Contactor?

Basically a definite purpose contactor is an electrically controlled switch that is used for switching a power circuit.

Originally dp contactors were designed for the HVAC industry because of their small size, low cost and light duty.

Today dp contactors are used to control industrial electric motors, lighting, compressors and much more.

Applications where you will find definite purpose contactors include elevators, pools, food processing, pumps & compressors, hoists & cranes, vending machines, agricultural/irrigation... pretty much anywhere there are motors!

Definite purpose contactors are generally easily interchangeable with other brands so cross referencing is easy to do.
