NOARK Ex9C 9A AC Contactor 24VDC Coil

The NOARK Ex9C 9A AC Contactor with 24 VDC coil (model 119001) is a compact IEC 60947-4-1 rated contactor engineered at NOARK's R&D facility in Brno, Czech Republic, providing AC-3 duty rating at 4 kW / 9 A for three-phase motor switching and AC-1 rating at 20 A for resistive load switching. The 24 VDC coil voltage is the preferred control voltage for PLC-driven and safety-relay-controlled motor control centres in Saudi Arabia's industrial automation systems, as it eliminates the shock hazard of the historic 220 V AC control voltage standard and aligns with the IEC 60204-1 safety voltage recommendation for machine control panels. The Ex9C 9A is the smallest frame in NOARK's contactor range, targeting low-power motor control applications including small HVAC fans, pump auxiliaries, conveyor drives, compressor unloaders, and lighting contactors in commercial building management systems.

The NOARK Ex9C contactor range is designed to work as a complete motor starter solution with the Ex9R overload relay — a companion device that mounts directly to the front face of the Ex9C without additional wiring or DIN-rail space. This integrated starter building-block approach replicates the assembly philosophy of ABB's A-line contactors with the TAL thermal overload relay or Schneider Electric's LC1D range with LR2D relay, giving Saudi panel builders who already understand these European architectures an immediately familiar NOARK product configuration. The Czech R&D design basis ensures the Ex9C's contact material selection, arc-quenching chamber geometry, and coil insulation class match European standards for switching life and thermal performance — critical factors in Saudi Arabia's high-ambient-temperature motor control centres where coil temperatures may reach 70°C or above in poorly ventilated enclosures.

Saudi Arabia's industrial and commercial motor control market is one of the largest in the Middle East, driven by the Kingdom's enormous installed base of pumping stations, HVAC systems, and process plant across ARAMCO, SABIC, SWCC, NWC, and the SEC distribution network. The NOARK Ex9C 9A targets the numerous small motor applications — cooling tower fans, chilled water secondary pump auxiliaries, ventilation fans, fire sprinkler jockey pumps, and BMS-controlled lighting contactors — where the premium pricing of ABB, Schneider, or Siemens contactors creates commercial pressure to specify a lower-cost alternative. NOARK's Czech R&D heritage and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance provide the quality assurance that ARAMCO and SABIC-approved panel builders require when seeking alternatives to premium-tier contactors, particularly for non-critical auxiliary applications where the cost-performance balance justifies the NOARK specification.

Razz Middle East maintains local stock of NOARK Ex9C contactors in the most common coil voltages (24 VDC, 110 VAC, 230 VAC) and frame sizes, enabling fast delivery to motor control centre panel shops in Riyadh, Dammam, and Jeddah. We supply Ex9C contactors paired with Ex9R overload relays for complete starter assemblies, and provide technical support for contactor sizing, co-ordination with upstream MCB protection, and panel layout optimisation for compact Saudi motor control centres.
