The Tyco Electronics 3100-20U6198 is a connectivity contactor designed to manage and switch electrical circuits within marine fire alarm systems. Contactors of this type serve as the electromechanical interface between control signals and power circuits, enabling reliable activation and deactivation of connected loads. Onboard vessels, this component plays a critical role in ensuring that fire alarm panel outputs correctly interface with downstream devices, suppression systems, or alarm notification equipment — making its integrity essential to overall fire safety performance.
Key Features
✓ Connectivity contactor function: provides electromechanical switching between control circuitry and connected loads within fire detection and alarm systems.
✓ Coil rated at 208/240V AC, 50/60Hz — compatible with standard shipboard AC supply voltages across international vessel operations.
✓ Specified torque values for copper conductors rated to 75°C: screw terminals at 22 in-lbs and lug terminals at 40 in-lbs, supporting correct and consistent installation.
✓ Designed for integration within Tyco fire alarm system architectures; compatibility with specific panels or controllers is subject to confirmation based on system configuration.
✓ Replacement of this contactor should follow manufacturer torque specifications to maintain connection integrity and system reliability in safety-critical environments.
Marine Applications
✓ Fire alarm and detection panels aboard commercial cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers requiring compliant circuit switching components.
✓ Passenger vessels and cruise ships where fire safety system reliability is subject to stringent flag state and class society requirements.
✓ Offshore platforms and support vessels integrating Tyco fire alarm systems across accommodation and machinery spaces.
✓ Naval auxiliaries and government vessels where fire alarm panel output contactors must perform reliably under demanding operational conditions.
✓ Retrofit and scheduled maintenance programmes aboard vessels requiring like-for-like replacement of fire alarm system switching components.
