 Why a new large frame contactor portfolio?
 Market has changed for large ampere contactors (>100A)
 Fewer traditional large motor starting applications
 Migrating in part due to newer technologies (Drives, Soft Starters)
 More applications emerging in isolation, bypass & alternate energy
 Decreasing total unit volume in this segment

 Our current IEC portfolio lags versus contemporary competitive portfolios

Requires RA to Transition to Contemporary Design

 What benefits do we expect to realize?
 Rockwell Automation
 Upgrade the large frame contactor portfolio while maintaining focus on active projects
(e.g. Next Generation Overload , Next Generation MPCB, etc.)

 Customer / Channel
 Broader & more contemporary portfolio of IEC & NEMA large frame contactors
 New opportunities for RA & Channel Sales to discuss components with customers
 Smaller footprint, universal AC/DC low power coil, 75% SKU reduction, more ratings and
approvals, shared accessories, etc.
 Better alignment with large frame circuit breakers (140G / 140MG)
 SCCR coordination, footprint alignment, direct connect kits, etc.
 Reduced lead times

 Commercial Conversion Program
 Conversion of Inventory
 Limited stocking positions (internal and channel) >200 Ampere

 Conversion of Customer
 Plan to use size reduction, availability (less SKU’s), universal coil as tools to conversion
 Price will be lower than legacy portfolio (6%...30% lower than electronic coil contactors)
 Creation of conversion accelerators (update agreements with new PGC’s)
 BOM/Drawing Conversion Assistance
 Simple engineering tool will be deployed to assist customers in conversion-perhaps via E Plan

Conversion program development in process with Commercial Marketing
