Contactors (Electromechanical)Electromechanical contactors are a type of relay that uses an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch or other electrical contact. These devices are often used in industrial and commercial applications to control the flow of electrical current in a circuit. Electromechanical contactors typically consist of a coil, which is energized by an electric current, and a set of movable contacts, which are mechanically connected to the coil. When the coil is energized, the resulting magnetic field causes the contacts to move and close the circuit. When the coil is de-energized, the contacts return to their original position and open the circuit. Electromechanical contactors are often used in conjunction with other control devices, such as timers and sensors, to provide precise control over the flow of electrical current in a circuit.
