8536SDO6V02 - Square D Magnetic Contactor

8536SDO6V02 - Square D Magnetic Contactor

When you need a motor starter that’s dependable without being complicated, the 8536SDO6V02 is a solid choice. It’s built for full-voltage starting and stopping of AC squirrel cage motors, and it handles everyday industrial and commercial jobs without fuss. With a 45 amp rating and support for motors up to 7.5 HP at 230 VAC, it fits right into a wide range of single-phase applications.

What most people like about this unit is how straightforward it is. It’s a non-reversing NEMA Size 2 starter, so you’re not dealing with unnecessary complexity. At the same time, it still gives you the protection you expect. The melting alloy overload relay uses thermal units to sense overcurrent and help prevent motor damage—something that can save you from bigger headaches later on.

It also comes with a 110/120 VAC coil, which works well with common control circuits, making installation and integration easier. Add in its UL listing and CSA certification, and you’ve got a motor starter that meets recognized safety standards and is trusted across many types of facilities. Whether you’re replacing an older unit or setting up a new system, this one keeps things simple and reliable.
