### 2. Key Internal Electronic/Electromechanical Parts
#### A. The Magnetic Coil (V02)
The heart of the contactor is the electromagnetic coil.
* **Function:** When 120V AC is applied, the coil creates a magnetic field that pulls the armature down.
* **Construction:** Thousands of turns of fine copper wire wound around a plastic bobbin.
* **Maintenance:** This is a replaceable part (Service part #31041-400-42).
#### B. Power Contacts
The "S" size indicates NEMA Size 1 contacts.
* **Material:** Typically silver-cadmium oxide alloy to resist welding and arcing.
* **Configuration:** 3-Pole Single Throw (3PST).
* **Rating:** Rated for 27A continuous current and up to 7.5 HP at 230V or 10 HP at 460V.
#### C. Auxiliary Contacts (SX01)
* **Role:** These are low-power contacts used for signaling (e.g., telling a PLC the status or turning on an indicator light).
* **Configuration:** The "X01" suffix indicates one **Normally Closed (NC)** contact is included in the assembly.
#### D. The Armature and Magnet Frame
* **Material:** Laminated silicon steel.
* **Shading Coils:** Small copper loops embedded in the magnet face to prevent "chatter" or humming by maintaining a magnetic hold during the AC zero-crossing.

### 4. Technical Summary
This unit is an **Open Type** contactor, meaning it is intended to be mounted inside a larger control panel. It does **not** include an integrated thermal overload relay; if motor protection is required, an 8536 series (starter) or a separate LR9 series overload block must be added.
