ABB AF12Z-30-01-23 Contactor - UL/CE certified
Part Number: 1SBL156001R2301
Quick Summary
ABB AF12Z-30-01-23 Contactor is a three-pole motor switch for industrial motor control. In variable networks, control voltage swings can cause nuisance trips and energy waste. This device carries CE and UL/CSA listings, plus CB certification, and offers IP20 protection for safe field installation. Its wide 100-250 V control range, built-in surge protection, and compact DIN-rail design translate to lower panel footprint and reduced maintenance, while easy extendability with auxiliary blocks supports scalable automation.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL156001R2301 ABB: The AF12Z-30-01-23 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with 1 built-in auxiliary contact and screw terminals, controlling motors up to 5.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 7-1/2 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 28 A (AC-1) or 28 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (100-250 V 50/60 Hz and DC), managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

FAQs
Install on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails per IEC 60715. The unit also supports two M4 screws for diagonal mounting. Main terminals use screw connections and the compact block design simplifies panel integration while allowing easy extension with add-on auxiliary contact blocks.
Rated Operational Current AC-1 at 690 V is 28 A at 40 °C, 28 A at 60 °C, and 24 A at 70 °C. Rated Operational Current AC-3 at 690 V is 9 A at 60 °C. This supports motor protection and control for typical loads up to 5.5 kW (AC-3, 400 V).
Yes. It features three main contacts plus one NC auxiliary contact for feedback, a wide control voltage range of 100-250 V, and built‑in surge protection. Its IP20 terminals and compact DIN-rail design make it reliable in conveyors, pumps, and other automation applications with voltage fluctuations.
It holds CE, UL/CSA, and CB certifications, along with UL 60335-2-40 alignment for safety. These attest to international safety and performance compliance, facilitating global sourcing and reducing regulatory risk in multi-site deployments.
AF technology tolerates wide control voltages, reducing nuisance trips and energy waste. Built‑in surge protection lowers downstream wear, while a compact footprint saves cabinet space and simplifies retrofits, improving uptime and lowering total cost of ownership.
