FAQs
Mount the device on a standard TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and secure with the compatible clipping. Use Push-In terminals for the main circuit and the auxiliary contact connections; wire with 0.5 to 4 mm² flexible or 0.5 to 6 mm² rigid conductors as specified. The unit supports 1 built-in auxiliary contact and can be extended with add-on blocks for expanded control circuitry, improving wiring density and simplifying future upgrades.
For AC-1 operation at 40 °C, the rated operational current is 28 A at 690 V, with 28 A at 60 °C and 24 A at 70 °C. For AC-3, the device provides 12 A at higher voltages (up to 690 V) and temperatures listed, with de-rating depending on voltage and ambient temperature. These ratings support motor starting and running in typical industrial loads while meeting IEC/UL/CSA standards.
Yes. It complies with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, and carries UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1 listings. The product also bears CE marking and RoHS declarations, ensuring suitability for global panels and OEM applications across varied regulatory regimes.
AF technology provides a wide control-voltage range (24-60 VAC/VDC), enabling stable operation despite voltage variations and reducing coil heating and panel energy waste. The design includes built-in surge protection for rugged networks, which minimizes nuisance tripping and extends component life, particularly in unstable power environments common to packaging lines and material handling.
Choose the TH35 DIN rail mounting for best fit and use Push-In terminals for durable connections. The unit supports 1 auxiliary contact and can be extended with blocks for safety and automation loops. With IP20 protection at terminals and robust thermal ratings, the assembly remains reliable under typical industrial temperatures and altitudes up to 3000 m without derating.
