Product Family Overview
May 2007
Application Description
These Cutler-Hammer
®
ampere and horsepower rated
devices from Eaton’s electrical business are designed for
service in applications such as Refrigeration, Air Conditioning
and Resistance Heating and are manufactured to traditional
Cutler-Hammer standards for quality and reliability. They are
subjected to stringent quality assurance inspections and
testing procedures. The life expectancy, both electrical and
mechanical, will meet or exceed industry performance
requirements for Definite Purpose devices.
If more detailed technical information is required — specifi-
cations, ratings, etc. — contact your local Eaton distributor
or sales office.

Product Description
Cutler-Hammer
®
20 – 40A, single- and
double-pole, Type C25 contactors from
Eaton’s electrical business feature a
compact, efficient design with a low
VA coil and straight-through wiring.
New contactor housing design effec-
tively limits dust and other contami-
nants from magnet structure —
reduces or eliminates noise. These
economically priced, UL recognized/
CSA certified, ampere rated devices
are well suited for use in heating/air
conditioning, refrigeration, data pro-
cessing and food service applications.
Contactors are marked with Line
and Load Terminal Designations

Product Description
Cutler-Hammer
®
Type C25 Definite
Purpose Contactors 15A through 360A,
from Eaton’s electrical business incor-
porate most competitive contactor
mounting dimensions into a single
baseplate. Contactors are dual-rated
with inductive and resistive ratings as
well as horsepower and kilowatt rat-
ings. C25 contactors are furnished with
pressure plates and quick connect ter-
minals as standard on 15, 25 and 30A
devices and with box lugs and quick-
connect terminals on 40, 50, 60 and
75A. Other terminal configurations are
available, see
Table 14.
Contactors will
accept add-on auxiliary contacts —
order factory assembled or as kits for
field installation.
The separately available snap-on
mechanical interlock permits interlock-
ing two contactors for reversing or
two-speed applications.
Contactors rated 15 – 50A only are
available with DIN rail mount as a fac-
tory installed option.
Contacts: Double break
Coil terminals: 10 – 14 AWG
