Wide control voltage range and built-in surge protection reduce panel energy waste and improve reliability in networks with voltage variation; AF technology enables robust operation from 48 to 130 V across 50/60 Hz and DC, minimizing nuisance trips and maintenance costs. This translates to fewer panel revisions and faster commissioning in conveyors and pumps, supporting consistent process control. The 3-pole block contactor with screw terminals delivers straightforward wiring and reliable connections, enabling quick DIN rail mounting and easy compatibility with add-on auxiliary contact blocks for expansion without redesign. In practice, you gain a compact footprint that saves panel space while maintaining high switching capacity for AC-1 and AC-3 loads. Compatibility with TH35 DIN rails and a wide accessory ecosystem reduces total installation time and downstream field service. Owners benefit from improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance spend thanks to efficient surge protection and durable contacts.

FAQs
Mount the AF12N0-30-10-12 on a TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) per IEC 60715. Use screw terminals for main circuit connections and auxiliary/control terminals, with recommended torque values of 1.5 N·m for main, and 1.2 N·m for auxiliary and control circuits. Wire sizes range from 0.75 to 6 mm² depending on circuit and conductor type, ensuring secure, vibration-resistant connections in industrial enclosures.
For AC-1 operation at 690 V, the rated operational current is 28 A at 40 °C, with similar values at 60 °C and 70 °C. For AC-3, the ratings vary by voltage: 12 A at 415–690 V and up to 12.5 A at 500 V, with compatible ratings across 380–240 V ranges. These figures guide motor starting and load switching in industrial equipment.
Yes, the AF12N0-30-10-12 includes built-in surge protection and AF technology for robust operation. The control circuit accepts 48–130 V AC or DC, allowing stable operation across 50/60 Hz networks and minimizing nuisance trips caused by supply fluctuations. This feature simplifies panel design by reducing external protective components.
This contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, and carries UL/CSA listings along with CE/UKCA conformity. These certifications matter because they verify safety, performance, and cross-border suitability for global installations, simplifying procurement, installation, and end-user compliance in regulated markets.
Typical applications include motor control for conveyors, pumps, and general machinery in automation panels. The wide control voltage tolerance reduces wiring complexity and energy waste, while DIN-rail mounting and easy accessory expansion shorten installation time and spare-part inventory. Over time, improved reliability and lower maintenance translate to reduced downtime and a faster return on investment.
