B-LINE 6-65-18 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line 6-65-18 contact kit fit?
The 6-65-18 is a replacement contact kit for Freedom series IEC Size K contactors and starters, Series A1, in the 2 pole configuration. Match all three of those on the device you are servicing (Size K, Series A1, 2 pole) before ordering, because contact kits are not interchangeable across sizes or series revisions.
2) Will a Size K contact kit work on a Freedom Size J or Size L contactor?
No. The 6-65-18 kit is built for IEC Size K only. Contact sizing follows the frame rating of the contactor, so a Size J or Size L device needs its own kit; fitting the wrong size leaves the movable and stationary contacts misaligned and the device will not make properly.
3) How many poles does the 6-65-18 Freedom contact kit cover?
Two. The kit is the 2 pole version, so it carries the stationary and movable contacts for two poles. A three pole Size K contactor is a different kit number, not this one plus a spare.
4) When should an electrician replace a contactor's contacts instead of the whole contactor?
Replace the contacts when the coil, frame and mechanism are sound and only the contact faces are pitted, welded or worn from arcing, which is the normal wear item on a motor starter. A contact kit like the 6-65-18 restores a Freedom Size K Series A1 2 pole device without pulling the starter out of the enclosure or rewiring the power terminals. If the coil is burnt or the armature is damaged, the whole contactor goes.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for this B-Line Freedom Size K 2 pole contact kit?
Order it as 6-65-18. That single number identifies the Freedom Series A1, IEC Size K, 2 pole contact kit, and it is the number to quote for MRO stocking or a cross reference.
