Why Choose the IMO RC-MCN-24 Coil Suppressor?
The IMO RC-MCN-24 is a compact RC coil suppressor module designed to minimise voltage spikes, switching transients and electromagnetic interference generated by contactor coils. Specifically developed for use with IMO MC10 to MC74 contactors, this suppressor helps protect PLCs, timers, relays and other sensitive control equipment from coil-induced electrical surges.
During contactor switching, inductive voltage spikes can interfere with nearby electronic devices and reduce overall system reliability. The RC-MCN-24 absorbs these transients, improving the stability of industrial control circuits while extending the service life of switching components.
Designed for 12–48 V AC (50/60 Hz) and DC control circuits, the IMO RC-MCN-24 features a convenient front clip-on design with flying leads, allowing quick installation onto compatible MC series contactors without additional panel modifications.
