Contactor with modular connection of the coil

#The present invention relates to a contactor with modular connection of the coil.

#In a known way, a contactor comprises: an insulating body delimited by a front face; a rear face comprising means of attachment to a support, an operating coil housed in the insulating body, and means of modular connection of the coil to an external circuit so that the coil can be powered.

#The connection means may be positioned on a side face of the contactor running transversely between the front face and the rear face, on two side faces, or on the front face, depending on the models, there being no standardized location for these.

#In any event, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows, given with reference to the attached schematic drawing which, by way of nonlimiting example, depicts one embodiment of an equipment according to the invention.

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first contactor according to the invention, with detached removable connection modules.

#FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the contactor of FIG. 1 with three connection modules attached to the contactor.

#It should be noted that FIGS. 2 and 3 do not correspond to a use of the contactor, a maximum of two modules being used for connecting the coil.

#According to a first embodiment depicted in FIGS. 1 to 7, a contactor 2 according to the invention comprises an insulating body 3 delimited by a front face 4, a rear face 5 comprising means 6 of attachment to a support rail, opposed upstream 7 and downstream 8 side faces located one on each side of the support rail.

#An operating coil 9 is housed in the insulating body 3, its winding positioned around a support 10.
