8536SDG6V02 - Square D Magnetic Contactor

8536SDG6V02 - Square D Magnetic Contactor

If you just need a motor starter that works—no complications, no overengineering—the 8536SDG6V02 is a solid, dependable choice. It’s built for full-voltage starting and stopping of AC squirrel cage motors, and it handles that job day in and day out without fuss.

With a 45 amp rating and single-phase setup, this NEMA Size 2 starter fits nicely into a lot of common applications—HVAC units, pumps, small machinery, you name it. It’s a non-reversing starter, so it’s ideal for systems where the motor just needs to run in one direction and do it reliably.

One thing worth pointing out is the built-in melting alloy overload relay. It uses Type B thermal units to detect overcurrent conditions, helping protect your motor before problems turn into downtime. That’s the kind of feature you don’t think about—until you really need it.

The 110/120V AC coil is already set up for standard control circuits, which makes installation more straightforward. And the NEMA 1 painted steel enclosure keeps everything protected in indoor environments without making access a hassle when it’s time for maintenance.

Bottom line: it’s a practical, no-nonsense motor starter that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
