Overview
The Eaton C65FNF350A is a definite purpose reversing contactor engineered for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) applications. This three-pole unit carries a 50-amp inductive rating and operates on 120V AC at 50/60 Hz. The reversing design enables bi-directional motor control, making it ideal for applications requiring forward-reverse motor operation such as reversible compressors or heat pump systems.
