Discontinued or Under Quotations – Obsolete and Special-Order Electrical Components
This category encompasses products that have been discontinued by the manufacturer or are available only under special quotation. These items may include legacy circuit breakers, obsolete contactors, outdated motor starters, and other electrical distribution components no longer in standard production. Typical characteristics found in these products include specific pole configurations (e.g., 3P, 4P), rated currents from 16A to 630A, breaking capacities up to 50kA at 415V AC, and various mounting types such as DIN rail or panel mount. Many of these components were originally designed for fixed installations in industrial control panels or power distribution boards. While no longer actively manufactured, they remain critical for maintenance, retrofitting, or replacement in existing systems where upgrading the entire assembly is not feasible.
These products are primarily applied in legacy industrial automation systems, older building electrical infrastructures, and specialized machinery where replacement with modern equivalents would require extensive re-engineering. Common sectors include manufacturing plants with aging equipment, chemical processing facilities, and power generation stations that rely on long-established control architectures. They are also used in commercial buildings with outdated switchgear or in marine and offshore installations where certified replacements are mandatory. The components are typically installed in enclosed distribution boards, motor control centers (MCCs), or dedicated panel boards, often requiring specific accessories like auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, or undervoltage releases to maintain original functionality.
Key subcategories within this range include obsolete molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) such as the ABB SACE series or Schneider Electric Compact NS models, along with discontinued contactors like the Telemecanique LC1-D range. Other relevant articles include legacy thermal overload relays, old-style pushbutton stations, and vintage terminal blocks. Article codes for these items often follow manufacturer-specific patterns, such as "NS100N" for a 100A MCCB or "LC1D12" for a 12A contactor, with suffixes indicating coil voltage (e.g., B7 for 24V AC) or mounting accessories. It is essential to verify exact specifications against original documentation, as variations in breaking capacity or auxiliary configurations are common.
Electric Automation Network provides a critical service for sourcing these hard-to-find components. Our engineering team offers personalized technical support to identify exact replacements or cross-reference obsolete parts, ensuring compatibility with your existing systems.
