Quick Verdict
Choose the AB 100-C09*10 reversing motor starter when you need forward/reverse starting in one package and your control circuit runs on 120V. Choose the Sprecher + Schuh CA7-85-10-220W when you need a new contactor for a 220V coil circuit and a higher motor-current capacity.
Price and Spec Comparison
At USD 74.99, the AB reversing starter is the lower-priced option. The Sprecher + Schuh contactor is USD 289.99, so the price spread puts the AB starter about 74% below the higher-priced contactor. That gap makes sense when you look at what each part is designed for: one is a compact reversing starter with a 1.6/5A overload relay, and the other is a new motor contactor with a 220V coil.

Where Each Product Wins
- The AB 100-C09*10 wins if you want a lower-priced, all-in-one reversing motor starter with overload relay included and a 120V coil.
- The Sprecher + Schuh CA7-85-10-220W wins if you want a brand-new contactor with a 220V coil, an auxiliary contact, and ratings that point to larger three-phase motors. It can also be base mounted or snapped onto 35mm DIN rail.
Product Notes
AB 100-C09*10 Reversing motor starter Contactor 1.6/5A overload relay 120V Coil
The AB unit is a used reversing motor starter that combines a 120V coil, a 1.6/5A overload relay, and connector wire between the contactors. If you are building a small motor control circuit, this gives you reversing capability without sourcing a separate overload block. It is identified by the model 193-EA1EB and MPN 100-C09D10. The limitation is the current range: the 1.6/5A overload relay suits smaller motor loads, so if your motor draws more than that range or your control voltage is 220V, this starter is not the fit.
Sprecher + Schuh Contactor CA7-85-10-220W 220v coil Brand new Motor contactor
The Sprecher + Schuh unit is a brand-new contactor built around a 220V AC coil. It carries an 85A contactor rating and a side-mounted 1 normally open auxiliary contact, and it is rated 30 H.P. at 230V and 60 H.P. at 460V three-phase. You can base mount it or snap it onto 35mm DIN rail, which gives flexibility in panel layout. The trade-off is on the control side: if your circuit runs on 120V, the 220V coil is not the match. It is also the higher-cost option in this head-to-head, so it makes sense when the application truly needs that larger rating.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you are working with a smaller motor and your panel already uses 120V control power, the AB 100-C09*10 reversing motor starter at USD 74.99 is the practical pick. If you need a new contactor for a 220V coil circuit and a motor in the 30 to 60 H.P. range, the Sprecher + Schuh CA7-85-10-220W at USD 289.99 is the better match.
