I've done this already . . . but the rationale for mounting
the contactor in any particular orientation has yet to be
supported by the underlying simple-ideas.
Yes, that's what the data sheet says but fails to explain
why. An there's a famous Tyco white paper that makes some
perfectly good measurements from which the authors then
infer but never demonstrate deleterious effects that
are not driven by the same science.
There IS a reason why mounting the contactor under
discussion cap down is a good idea and we've already
hat-danced around it . . . and it's NOT for consideration
of g-forces.

I'll take a stab. Mounting "cap down" means that gravity (and a bit of
engine vibration) will separate the main current contacts after the coil
is de-energized should the internal compression spring fail. Mounting
the other way would have the contacts potentially closing due gravity if
the spring failed with potential for all sorts of unhappy results.
Thanks to Bob for the nice internal pictures of this style of contactor.
(I seem to have several of them in use personally).
