ABB AF12Z-30-01K-21 Block Contactor - IEC/UL Certified
Part Number: 1SBL156005R2101
Quick Summary
ABB AF12Z-30-01K-21 Block Contactor is a 3-pole motor switching device for reliable industrial drive control. Engineers often contend with voltage swings and control-circuit drift that cause nuisance trips or energy waste; AF technology stabilizes operation across a wide control range. This device meets IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CE/UKCA compliance, delivering international safety and performance. In addition to robust electrical ratings, it supports easy accessory expansion and DIN-rail mounting, enabling faster panel assembly and reduced total cost of ownership. For engineers and procurement teams, this means a compact, scalable solution that aligns with global standards and project timelines.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL156005R2101 ABB: The AF12Z-30-01K-21 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with 1 built-in auxiliary contact and Push-in spring 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 (24-60 V 50/60 Hz and 20-60 V 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.

The device is designed for DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails, with additional mounting via two M4 screws if required. This enables quick installation in standard European control panels and eases future reconfiguration or expansion.
For AC-1 operation, the contactor is rated up to 28 A at 690 V. For AC-3, it provides up to 12 A at higher voltages (including 380–690 V ranges) depending on temperature and configuration. These ratings support reliable motor start and protected switching of general power circuits.
Yes. It is rated for ambient temperatures from -40 to 70 °C and up to 3,000 m altitude without derating, with IP20 protection on main and coil terminations. The device also incorporates surge protection and adheres to multiple global standards, supporting reliable operation in demanding industrial settings.
This contactor complies with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA, with CE and UKCA declarations for market access. Compliance extends to RoHS and REACH, supporting global supply chains and regulatory requirements.
Its compact 45 mm width, push-in terminals, and built-in surge protection reduce wiring time and panel space while lowering spare parts and failure risk. The option to extend with add-on auxiliary blocks supports scalable automation, minimizing replacement costs during plant expansion and simplifying spare-part inventories.
