Overview
The Eaton AE16BNS0 is a compact 3-pole non-reversing IEC definite purpose starter built for industrial motor control circuits. Rated at 10 amps with 600V maximum operating voltage, this contactor delivers reliable switching for single-phase and three-phase applications up to 5 horsepower at 460V. The AE16BNS0 features one normally open (NO) base-mounted auxiliary contact, enabling integration into larger control logic schemes. Though discontinued by the manufacturer, this used unit provides proven reliability for maintenance, replacement, and retrofit applications.
