DILM17-10 — Eaton DIL M17 Contactor
The Eaton DIL M17 Contactor is a medium-duty three-pole power contactor rated at 17 A under AC-3 duty, corresponding to 7.5 kW motor power at 400 V AC, making it one of the most widely deployed contactor sizes in the 5.5–11 kW motor range used in commercial HVAC, water treatment, and light process applications. The DILM17 is part of Eaton's unified DIL M contactor family, sharing DIN dimensions, auxiliary contact modules, and coil technology with the smaller DILM7 and larger DILM40 members, which simplifies panelboard design and spare parts management across a facility's full motor power range. Coil voltages span 24 V DC to 480 V AC without requiring a contactor model change, and the wide operating voltage tolerance of 0.8–1.1 × Un handles the voltage fluctuations common on Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and SEC distribution networks without spurious drop-out during grid disturbances.
The DILM17 features a double-break main contact design that minimises arc energy and contact erosion during AC-3 motor switching, contributing to the device's rated electrical life of 1 million operations under full AC-3 duty. The contact pressure spring system compensates for contact wear over the device's service life, maintaining reliable contact closure force and millivolt-level contact resistance that protects motor feeder circuit integrity. An integrated surge suppressor option in the coil circuit reduces inductive kick voltage on de-energisation, protecting sensitive PLC input cards in control circuits from transient overvoltage. The DILM17-10 variant includes a front-face 1 NO auxiliary contact suitable for PLC run-feedback signalling or sealing circuits; the -01 variant provides 1 NC for interlock use. Both variants accept the same snap-on auxiliary contact add-on modules for mixed contact configurations.
Saudi Arabia's rapidly expanding commercial construction sector and industrial base make the 7.5 kW motor range — and therefore the DILM17 — one of the highest-volume contactor sizes in the Kingdom. The DILM17 is specified by mechanical contractors building chilled water pump panels for Riyadh and Jeddah commercial towers, by SEC-approved panel builders for distribution substation cooling fan circuits, and by NEOM EPC contractors for infrastructure MCC panels. Aramco residential compounds and facilities management contractors use the DILM17 extensively for packaged pump skid controls and small compressor starters. SABIC maintenance departments carry DILM17 as a standard spare part given its prevalence in chemical plant utility circuits. The 50°C ambient rating with no derating satisfies the Kingdom's harsh summer climate requirements in plant rooms that may not be air-conditioned.
Razz Middle East maintains comprehensive DILM17 stock across all common coil voltages including 24 V DC, 110 V AC, 230 V AC, and 400 V AC, in both -10 and -01 auxiliary contact configurations. Bulk pricing for project quantities of 50 units or more is available, with delivery to any location in Saudi Arabia within 48 hours from our Riyadh warehouse. Our engineers provide motor starter panel design reviews, contactor sizing calculations, and IEC 60947-4-1 coordination check documentation for project submission to Saudi Aramco, SABIC, SEC, and MODON authorities.

Key Features & Benefits
- 17 A AC-3 rating covers 7.5 kW motors at 400 V, one of the most common motor sizes in commercial HVAC, pump, and light process applications across Saudi Arabia.
- Coil voltage range 24 V DC to 480 V AC without product change simplifies procurement and eliminates the need for step-down control transformers in many 400 V panel designs.
- Wide 0.8–1.1 × Un operating voltage tolerance ensures reliable pick-up and drop-out on Saudi Aramco and SEC distribution networks subject to ±10% voltage fluctuations.
- Double-break main contact design reduces arc energy and contact erosion per switching operation, contributing to the 1 million AC-3 operations electrical life rating.
- Integrated coil surge suppressor option protects PLC I/O cards from inductive transients on de-energisation in 24 V DC control circuit designs.
- Compatible with the full range of DIL M snap-on auxiliary contact add-on modules, enabling mixed NO/NC contact configurations without main body replacement.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Chilled water pump motor starters in commercial tower HVAC systems across Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, Jeddah waterfront, and Makkah hotel complexes.
- Distribution substation cooling fan contactors for SEC primary and secondary substations across the Kingdom.
- Packaged pump skid and small compressor motor starters at Saudi Aramco residential and commercial facility management installations.
- Infrastructure MCC panels for NEOM Trojena, The Line, and Sindalah utilities, where standardisation on the DIL M family simplifies spares management.
