Lauritz & Knudson CS94100 MNX 18 Power Contactor 18 A, 3 Pole, 220 V AC

Lauritz & Knudson CS94100 (Model: MNX 18) contactor is built for motor control and switching, combining proven reliability with full compliance to applicable IEC/IS standards. Key ratings include 18 A, 220V AC, 3 Poles. It is heavy-duty, 3-pole electrical power contactor. It acts as an electrically controlled switch to safely turn high-current loads on and off. It isolates the low-power control circuit (like a push-button) from the dangerous high-power operating circuit.

Poles: 3 NO (Normally Open) main power contacts.

Current Rating: 18 Amps (AC-3 duty for motors).

Auxiliary Contact: 1 NO built-in for control logic/interlocking.

Standard: IEC 60947-4-1 compliant.

Product Specification:

Model: MNX 18
Poles: 3 (meaning it can control three separate power lines at once)
Rated Current: 18 Amps (for motor loads)
Auxiliary Contact: 1 NO (stands for "Normally Open", a small extra switch used to send a signal to a light or controller)
Standard: IEC 60947-4-1 compliant.

Terms and Conditions
1 year warranty
Shipping: 7-14 Business Days

L&T (Lauritz & Knudsen) CS94100 MNX 18 Power Contactor — Supply & Distribution Across India and the UAE

If you've been sourcing power contactors for a while, you've probably run into the name two ways — some panel builders still call it "Lauritz & Knudsen," older-generation electricians and Gulf suppliers say "L&T/LK," and younger engineers just know it as L&T. All three point to the same product line, and the CS94100 MNX 18 is one of its most requested SKUs.

At Corelink Controls, we get asked about this part constantly — from OEM panel shops in Vasai and Thane to system integrators putting together motor control panels in Sharjah and Jebel Ali. So here's a straight, no-fluff breakdown of what the CS94100 MNX 18 actually is, where it fits, and why sourcing it through an established B2B distributor matters more than people think.

What the CS94100 MNX 18 Actually Is?

The CS94100 is L&T's MNX 18 power contactor — a 3-pole electromagnetic switching device built to IS/IEC 60947-4-1 standards. In plain terms:

Rated current: 18A on AC-3 duty, 30A on AC-1
Poles: 3-pole, with 1 NO auxiliary contact
Coil voltage options: 110V AC, 240V AC, and 415V AC variants available
Construction: finger-proof screw terminals, click-fit type up to 40A frame, compatible with Mn-series thermal overload relays for motor protection
Typical use: motor starters, lighting contactor panels, capacitor bank switching, and general industrial load control

It's part of L&T's broader MNX range, which scales from 9A right up to 650A AC-3 — so the CS94100 sits at the lighter-duty, compact end, which is exactly why it's so common in control panels, DB boards, and smaller motor starter applications rather than heavy switchgear rooms.

Why Buy Through Corelink Controls

We're a Mumbai-based industrial trading company working B2B with OEMs, EPC contractors, panel builders, system integrators, and maintenance teams across India and the Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait). On contactors and switchgear specifically, we prioritize:

Genuine stock with clear sourcing — no grey-market ambiguity
GST-compliant documentation for Indian buyers, export-ready paperwork for Gulf orders
Direct technical support if you're unsure which coil voltage or frame size fits your panel

Whether you know it as the L&T MNX 18, the Lauritz & Knudsen CS94100, or just "that 18A contactor," we can get it to your panel shop or project site — in stock, verified, and on time.
