Information About 100-FSC280

The 100-FSC280 belongs to Allen-Bradley’s family of RC surge suppression modules engineered to protect 100-C contactors and 700-CF relays from electrical transients generated during coil switching. It features a plug-in coil-mounted design with screw terminals for quick installation and reliable electrical connection. Supporting 110–280 VAC at 50/60 Hz, the module helps extend component life by mitigating coil-generated surges that would otherwise impact downstream devices. Built to meet global standards such as CCC, CE, CUL, GOST, KC and UL, it ensures dependable performance in diverse industrial environments.

Key Features:

  • RC Suppression Circuit: Combines resistor and capacitor elements to absorb and smooth voltage spikes during coil de-energization.
  • Wide Voltage Range Support: Operates from 110 to 280 VAC, accommodating varied control system supply levels.
  • Plug-In Coil-Mounted Design: Attaches directly to 100-C contactors for fast integration without additional mounting hardware.
  • Compatible With 700-CF Relays: Extends its application range across multiple Allen-Bradley coil-driven components.
  • Industrial-Grade Construction: Engineered for long-term reliability in demanding automation and electrical control environments.
  • Screw Terminal Connections: Provides secure and vibration-resistant wiring interfaces.
  • Global Compliance: Approved to CCC, CE, CUL, GOST, KC and UL standards for international use.
  • Noise and Surge Reduction: Helps protect control circuits by minimizing transient disturbances and electrical noise.

The 100-FSC280 delivers the reliability and precision required for effective surge suppression in industrial coil-driven systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 100-FSC280
Question: What is the function of the 100-FSC280?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The 100-FSC280 is a surge suppressor module used to protect the coil circuit of a contactor from voltage spikes (transients) generated during switching. It helps:

  • Protect control circuit components
  • Prevent coil voltage fluctuations
  • Improve contactor lifespan and system reliability
Question: What contactors is the 100-FSC280 compatible with?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

It is compatible with Allen-Bradley 100-C series contactors, particularly:

  • Miniature and IEC contactors
  • Typically mounted on 100-C09 to 100-C37 contactor models

Check your specific contactor’s coil voltage — this module is designed for 280V AC coils.

Question: How is the 100-FSC280 installed?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Clips or snaps directly into a dedicated slot on the top of the contactor
  • No tools required
  • Must be matched to the coil voltage rating of the contactor

Once installed, it connects across the contactor’s coil terminals internally.

Question: Why is surge suppression important in contactor-controlled circuits?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

When the coil of a contactor is de-energized, the collapsing magnetic field can generate voltage spikes or transient overvoltages. These transients can:

  • Damage sensitive electronics in PLC inputs, timers, or HMIs
  • Cause false triggering in nearby low-voltage circuits
  • Shorten the lifespan of relay contacts or signal cables
  • Create electromagnetic interference (EMI) that disrupts communication systems

The 100-FSC280 acts as a protective shunt across the coil terminals, absorbing or redirecting these high-frequency spikes, thereby maintaining system integrity and electrical noise immunity.

Question: Can I use the 100-FSC280 with DC coil contactors?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

No. The 100-FSC280 is designed specifically for AC coil contactors, likely up to 280V AC. Using it on a DC coil may:

  • Cause ineffective suppression
  • Lead to module overheating or failure
  • Violate safety and warranty requirements

For DC applications, use a diode-based suppression module (such as 100-FSD… series) that matches the coil's DC voltage and switching characteristics.
