When you're wiring a 3-phase motor, the contactor's coil voltage and mounting options are make-or-break decisions. The Sprecher + Schuh CA7-85-10-220W brings a 220V AC coil and dual mounting flexibility to the table, but is it the right fit for your control panel? Let's walk through the details that matter.
Quick verdict
If your motor control circuit runs on 220V AC and you want a contactor that can mount on a DIN rail or a flat base, the Sprecher + Schuh CA7-85-10-220W at USD 289.99 is worth a hard look. It's a new, 3-phase contactor with a 220V coil, a side-mounted normally open auxiliary contact, and enough capacity for many industrial motor applications.
Who it suits
This contactor is aimed at anyone wiring 3-phase motors that fall in the 30 HP at 230V or 60 HP at 460V range. It's also a good match for panel builders who need the flexibility of either snapping it onto a 35mm DIN rail or securing it with base mounting screws. If your setup already uses a 220V AC control circuit, the coil voltage lines up cleanly.
What stands out from the listed details
The coil rating of 200V 50Hz and 200-220V 60Hz means it directly works with a standard 220V 60Hz control supply, which is common in many industrial plants. The side-mounted 1 N.O. auxiliary contact is a practical addition when you need to send a status signal back to a PLC or indicator lamp. The dual mounting options are another strong point-DIN rail for quick installation, or base mount for a more permanent fit.
Meaningful trade-offs
The 220V coil is the sole coil voltage offered here. If your control circuit runs at 24V DC, 110V, or another voltage, this contactor won't work without an additional transformer or relay. The USD 289.99 price is a considerable investment for a single contactor, so you'll want to be confident that the 220V coil matches your existing control wiring. The model number CA7-85-10-220 clearly signals the 220V coil, so double-check your panel's control voltage before ordering.
Bottom line
The Sprecher + Schuh CA7-85-10-220W is a straightforward, new 220V coil contactor with the mounting flexibility that many installers need. If you're in the market for a 220V AC coil, the 30/60 HP range fits, and you like having an auxiliary contact built in, this model deserves a spot on your shortlist.

This exact unit is listed at USD 289.99 in new condition. The model number CA7-85-10-220 tells you it's from the CA7 contactor series with a 220V coil. The side-mounted 1 N.O. auxiliary contact is already attached, so you don't need to source a separate block for basic feedback. You get a 3-phase contactor that can be base mounted or snapped onto a 35mm DIN rail, giving you two installation paths without extra parts.
