ABB AF12Z-30-10K-21 Contactor - IEC/UL 60947-4-1
Part Number: 1SBL156005R2110
Quick Summary
ABB AF12Z-30-10K-21 Contactor enables reliable 3-pole motor control for mid-size industrial equipment. In field conditions, constant voltage variations can cause nuisance tripping and reduced uptime; AF technology tolerates wide control ranges, maintaining consistent operation even with fluctuating signals. This product carries IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and UL 60947-4-1 certifications, as well as CSA and CE markings, facilitating global procurement and compliance. Its compact 45 mm width, built-in surge protection, and compatible add-on auxiliary blocks simplify panel design, reduce wiring, and support scalable control architectures. For engineers, this means fewer components, faster commissioning, and improved energy efficiency in demanding factory environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL156005R2110 ABB: The AF12Z-30-10K-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.

FAQs
The AF12Z-30-10K-21 is a 3P block contactor with a 45 mm width, designed for TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails. It uses Push-in Spring Terminals with 10 mm wire stripping length for main, auxiliary, and control circuits. Flexible termination supports ferrule, solid, or stranded wires, simplifying panel wiring and reducing installation time.
Coil control voltage ranges from 24 to 60 V AC at 50/60 Hz, and 20 to 60 V DC. This wide range accommodates fluctuating supply conditions, minimizes the need for multiple coil variants, and improves reliability in variable environments without extra components or resistors.
Yes. The AF12Z-30-10K-21 supports main circuit voltages up to 690 V and is rated for AC-3 operation, including common motor control scenarios. It handles 28 A AC-1 at 690 V and up to 12 A AC-3 depending on voltage, making it appropriate for motors around several kilowatts in industrial settings.
It carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 standards, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1, plus CE markings. These certifications support safe operation and regulatory compliance across regions including Europe and North America, simplifying sourcing for multinational projects.
Integrated surge protection reduces transient-related failures, lowering maintenance and downtime. The AF technology’s wide voltage tolerance reduces spare parts and wiring complexity, while the compact design and expandable auxiliary blocks shorten installation time and enable scalable automation, contributing to lower total ownership costs and faster project ROI.
