KRIPAL manufactures mini contactors from 6A to 16A in 3-pole and 4-pole configurations for space-constrained control panels, lighting control and building automation. The compact frame saves up to 20% DIN rail width compared to standard contactors, making them ideal for high-density OEM machinery, packaging equipment and distributed I/O cabinets where every millimeter of panel space counts. Available with AC and DC coils across standard industrial voltages, with matching AU auxiliary contact blocks for status feedback and control interlock circuits.

UKC1 Mini Contactor is an electrical component used for circuit switching.
Ask a QuoteA mini contactor is a high-density electromechanical switching device optimized for industrial enclosures where internal panel space is at a premium. Engineered to handle load currents up to 16A, this compact solution provides precise power management for small induction motors, commercial compressors, and localized auxiliary control circuits in space-critical applications.
Engineered specifically for low-amperage applications, providing reliable, high-density load switching for fractional horsepower motors and sensitive control systems.
Standard 3-pole design for three-phase motor control, with 4-pole variants available for comprehensive circuit isolation, including neutral switching.
Integrates a full range of AC coil voltages—including 24V, 110V, 220V, and 380V—to ensure native compatibility with global automation control systems.
Supports tool-free, snap-on installation of AU auxiliary contact blocks, enabling real-time status feedback for integrated logic controllers.
Manufactured under rigorous ISO 9001 quality management protocols. These miniature units are built using the same heavy-duty production architecture as our full-size UKC series, ensuring consistent, industrial-grade reliability across the entire contactor family.
KRIPAL mini contactors serve space-constrained control applications where standard frame contactors consume too much DIN rail width, from densely packed OEM machine panels and building management enclosures to distributed I/O cabinets on factory floors.
Mini contactors fit the tight DIN rail real estate inside flow-wrapping, cartoning, and labeling machinery where every millimeter of panel width is budgeted and a standard contactor would force a larger enclosure with higher IP rating costs.
Mini contactors switch lighting zone circuits, motorized blind groups, and HVAC damper actuators in building automation panels where dozens of contactors share one enclosure and low coil heat dissipation prevents thermal buildup inside sealed cabinets.
Mini contactors serve as the interface layer between PLC transistor outputs and solenoid valves, small motor loads, and signal lamps in distributed I/O cabinets. Low coil burden reduces power supply sizing and thermal management requirements in sealed field enclosures.
KRIPAL mini contactors are manufactured on the same production lines as our standard UKC series, utilizing identical silver-alloy contact technology and coil-winding standards. The key distinction is our purpose-designed, compact frame, which reduces DIN rail footprint by 20%—delivering high-density efficiency without compromising switching performance.
Mini and standard contactors utilize the same in-house developed silver-alloy contact formulations. Standardizing on KRIPAL ensures consistent contact life characteristics and simplified maintenance across your entire product line.
By reducing the footprint from 55mm (standard) to 45mm (mini), a bank of 10 units saves 100mm of rail space. This allows you to either add two extra devices or downsize the enclosure, directly reducing steel costs and IP-rating expenses.
Combine mini and standard contactors into a single purchase order. Our logistics team optimizes pallet utilization to prevent the inflated per-unit freight costs typically associated with split-vendor orders.
While major manufacturers often mandate 200+ unit minimums, KRIPAL supports specialized builders with order quantities starting at just 30 units. We provide the compact components you need, without the commodity volume requirements.
Order mini contactors with AU auxiliary blocks pre-mounted as a single SKU. Your assembly team receives a ready-to-install unit, eliminating manual bench assembly time and potential errors.
For large-scale building management projects, KRIPAL maintains safety stock and releases shipments aligned with your commissioning schedule, rather than shipping all units at once.
Strengthen your brand with custom laser-etched labeling on the contactor face, matched to your internal part number system. KRIPAL factory branding remains discreet or is removed entirely upon request.
Avoid field failures common with “blind” downsizing. Before finalizing your panel layout, our engineers verify your switching loads, duty cycles, and ambient temperature requirements to confirm mini contactor suitability.
