Three main NO contacts plus one NC auxiliary contact provide straightforward control of three-phase motors, reducing wiring complexity and cabinet space while enabling reliable AC-3 control up to 7.5 kW at 690 V. This translates to lower installation costs and easier serviceability in high-demand plants. The coil voltage options of 230-240 V at 50/60 Hz and 277 V at 60 Hz ensure direct compatibility with common control circuits, minimizing transformer needs and improving startup reliability in diverse plants. Push-in terminals with flexible connection options (Ferrule and Insulated Ferrule ranges from 0.5 to 4 mm²) speed field wiring, reduce miswiring risk, and enhance maintenance efficiency. DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 simplifies retrofits and new panel design, streamlining installation and future upgrades. IP20 protection and a compact 45 mm width help maximize enclosure density while maintaining safety in harsh environments. The device consumes modest coil power, with typical values around 8 V·A holding and 70 V·A pull-in, contributing to lower ongoing energy use and cooler operation. Rated for high switching frequency and robust endurance, it supports frequent on/off cycles in conveyors, pumps, and fans, delivering predictable life-cycle performance and favorable ROI. Compatibility with the AF platform and add-on accessory blocks enables scalable solutions as control architectures evolve without replacing the base unit.

FAQs
The AFC12-30-01K-42 is designed for DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails. Main circuit terminals use push-in connections and accept flexible ferrule 0.5 to 4 mm2 or rigid 0.5 to 6 mm2 conductors. For quick wiring, utilize the NC auxiliary contact and the three NO main contacts, with coil supply of 230-240 V at 50/60 Hz or 277 V at 60 Hz. Ensure proper clearance and IP20 protection in a ventilated enclosure.
In AC-3 duty at 690 V, the unit is rated around 9 A to 12 A depending on temperature, with AC-1 ratings up to 28 A at 690 V. The rated operational power for AC-3 is 5.5 kW at 415–690 V and 3 kW at 220–240 V, with 12 A AC-3 at 690 V or 12 A AC-3e as noted. This makes it suitable for moderate load motors and general power switching.
Yes. The AFC12-30-01K-42 supports three-pole motor control up to high voltage levels and offers a compact DIN rail mount with IP20 protection, suitable for conveyors, pumps, and fans. Its 690 V insulation and 28 A AC-3 rating provide reliable switching for medium to small motor loads, while the auxiliary contact enables logic interlocking or feedback signaling essential in automated lines.
This contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1. It also aligns with CE and UKCA requirements, has BV and other certificates, and adheres to RoHS and REACH declarations. These certifications support global deployment and ensure regulatory compliance in industrial installations.
The unit features a robust block contactor design with low coil consumption and accessible push-in terminals, which reduces wiring faults and maintenance time. Its extendable architecture with add-on auxiliary blocks allows future upgrades without full replacement, delivering a lower total cost of ownership. Frequent operation is supported by a mechanical switching frequency up to 3600 cycles per hour, contributing to predictable ROI in automation projects.
