Dayton 6ECA3 Overload Relay 0.10–0.16 A

The Dayton 6ECA3 is a thermal overload relay designed for industrial motor protection. It offers a current setting range of 0.10 A to 0.16 A with a Trip Class 10 response. The unit features 1NO/1NC auxiliary contacts for control circuit integration. It mounts directly to a contactor for a compact installation.

Verify contactor compatibility and current range

Before ordering, confirm that your contactor supports direct mounting for this IEC-style relay. The motor full-load current must fall within the 0.10 A to 0.16 A adjustment range. Ensure the control circuit can utilise the 1NO/1NC auxiliary contact configuration. Check that the Trip Class 10 timing suits your motor starting profile.

Direct mount design saves panel space

The relay mounts directly onto a compatible contactor, eliminating the need for a separate DIN rail mount. This reduces overall assembly depth to 3.62 in and width to 1.73 in. The 1NO/1NC auxiliary contacts provide both trip signalling and control interlock functions. Auto and manual reset options allow flexible restart procedures after a thermal trip event.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the 6ECA3 overload relay and what must be purchased separately?

The relay body includes the 1NO/1NC auxiliary contacts and mounts directly to a contactor; a compatible IEC contactor is not included and must be bought separately.

How do I choose the correct current setting between the 0.10 A minimum and 0.16 A maximum?

Set the dial within the 0.10–0.16 A range to match the motor full-load current; Trip Class 10 defines the tripping time curve for that setting.

What does the 0.16 A maximum current setting mean once the relay is installed on a motor circuit?

It is the upper limit of the thermal overload protection range; the relay will trip on sustained currents above this value to protect the motor windings.
