Thermal units provide overload protection by responding to heat generated under excess current conditions, helping protect motor loads and associated equipment from damage. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this component as part of a starter or contactor assembly. The A2.31 weighs 0.04 pounds and measures 2.5 inches in length, 1.2 inches in width, and 0.8 inches in height, making it a compact replacement element for the appropriate contactor lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thermal unit is suited for replacement service in commercial and industrial motor control applications where contactor overload protection is required. It is typically installed inside a motor starter assembly as part of routine maintenance or when replacing a damaged overload element. The package contains one unit, allowing single-unit replacement without unnecessary excess stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides thermal overload protection for contactor and motor starter assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor: 2.5 inches long, 1.2 inches wide, 0.8 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.04 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging supports precise, as-needed replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as a contactor accessory for direct integration into compatible assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement thermal unit for compatible SQUARE D contactor and motor starter assemblies requiring this accessory type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes.
