Control components for industrial panels.
Pilot devices, motor control, circuit protection, transformers, and relays from C3 Controls. Built for panel builders, OEMs, and plant maintenance crews who need rated hardware that installs clean and holds up on the floor.
Push buttons through contactors, breakers, transformers, and relays — the devices you stock for new builds and field replacements.
C3 Controls warrants every product against defects in material, workmanship, and design for the life of the product.
NEMA and IEC devices with Type 4/4X and IP66 options, plus Class I, Division 2 hazardous-location models where the job requires them.
Product line
Thirty families covering operator interfaces, motor control and protection, control power, and switching logic. Prices start at the base device; options and accessories are listed on each product page.
Pilot Devices
Operator interface hardware for doors and panels — push buttons, pilot lights, selector switches, potentiometers, and legend plates in 13mm, 16mm, 22mm, and 30mm. IEC, NEMA Type 4/4X, and Class I Division 2 lines.
Motor Control & Protection
Contactors, DOL starters, overload relays, motor protectors, miniature breakers, disconnects, and cam switches from 0.10A to 125A for across-the-line motor circuits and feeder protection.
Power & Conversion
Control transformers from 50VA to 5000VA and regulated industrial power supplies from 60W to 480W for machine and building control power.
Relays & Timers
General-purpose relays and electronic timing relays for interposing, sequencing, and control logic in industrial panels.
Panel footprint reduction
c3controls miniature contactors mount on the same 35 mm DIN rail as traditional 45 mm frames but occupy 28% less surface area — 38.2 mm wide × 49.2 mm high × 44.1 mm deep versus 45 × 58 × 52 mm. That freed rail and wiring-duct space lets you shrink the enclosure or add circuits without upsizing the panel.
Traditional component frame — the baseline footprint on 35 mm DIN rail.
Hover or focus a terminal marker to see its dual IEC and NEMA marking. Dimensions are nominal frame dimensions.
Applications we build for
C3 Controls hardware and PowerAire panel engineering, matched to the codes and constraints of your industry.
Elevator Modernization & Code Compliance
ASME A17.1 upgrades demand control hardware that inspectors can read at a glance and that protects the drive under fault conditions.
- Permanent 'STOP' and 'RUN' indications for unambiguous machine-room status, per ASME A17.1 requirements.
- Direct-on-line (DOL) starters sized for elevator duty cycles and frequent starts.
- Safety-critical overload protection to guard hoist motors against sustained overcurrent.
