Part Number: 1SBL157061R1401
Quick Summary
The ABB AF12B-30-01-14 Contactor is a three-pole motor starter for industrial motor control. It helps operators manage motors reliably in demanding environments, even with fluctuating control voltages. This device meets IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-1, and UL 60335-2-40/CSA standards, with EN 50155 considerations for rolling stock applications. Its AF technology supports a wide control voltage range and built-in surge protection, delivering resilience against network variability. By combining compact form with scalable accessory options, it enables cost-effective panel design and simplified maintenance, while supporting future expansion through add-on auxiliary contact blocks and DIN-rail mounting compatibility.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL157061R1401 ABB: The AF12B-30-01-14 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 (250-500 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.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: AF technology enables a wide control voltage range of 250–500 V AC/DC, reducing control circuit design constraints and improving reliability in networks with voltage variation; this translates to fewer nuisance trips and lower energy waste in motors and drives in textile, packaging, and material handling lines. Feature → Built-in surge protection for the coil and main circuits reduces component failures and maintenance costs, increasing uptime for critical conveying systems and rolling stock applications. Feature → Three main NO contacts plus one NC auxiliary contact provide flexible control topology and simpler logic wiring, reducing cabinet space and enabling quick retrofits in compact control panels. Feature → 3P main contacts rated up to 690 V with AC-1 and AC-3/AC-3e performance, enabling motor control of up to 5.5 kW at 400 V and supporting broader industrial drives. Feature → DIN rail mounting and screw-terminal connections offer easy field installation and secure, vibration-resistant operation in control cabinets and motor starters. Feature → Compact dimensions (45 mm width, 77 mm depth, 86 mm height) and IP20 protection facilitate space-saving layouts and robust operation in harsh environments. Feature → Add-on auxiliary contact blocks extend control capabilities without replacing the base device, supporting scalable automation architectures. Feature → Wide compatibility with standard accessories (installation instructions and CAD drawings available) reduces engineering time and accelerates project timelines. Feature → 28 A general-use and 12 A AC-3 ratings ensure suitable protection for 3-phase motors and switching power circuits, aligning with common industrial loads and UL/CSA requirements. Feature → CE, UL/CSA, and IEC compliance provide assurance for cross-border procurement and end-user safety, enabling faster approvals and fewer certification hurdles.

FAQs
Mount the device on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails as per IEC 60715, ensuring the coil and main circuits have proper clearance. It uses screw terminals for main, auxiliary, and control circuits, allowing flexible wiring and secure connections with typical ferrule or solid conductors within the specified cross-sections. This setup supports quick panel layout changes and straightforward field maintenance.
For AC-1, the AF12B-30-01-14 is rated up to 28 A at 690 V (60 °C and 70 °C conditions vary). For AC-3, it is rated up to 12 A at 415–690 V depending on the exact voltage, temperature, and application. This makes it suitable for motor starting and switching of smaller to mid-size drives while maintaining appropriate thermal margins.
Yes. The AF12B-30-01-14 is specified with standards including IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, EN 50155 applicability, and related UL/CSA certifications. The device’s coil support for 250–500 V, plus built-in surge protection, helps meet the reliability and safety demands in rolling stock environments while enabling integration with rail-specific control logic.
The AF12B complies with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA equivalents, EN 50155 for rolling stock, and CE/UKCA declarations. These certifications support safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance across international procurement, reducing project risk and validation time.
Built-in surge protection reduces coil stress and extends life, while wide control voltage range simplifies wiring and reduces panel design variations. The compact DIN-rail mountable form saves cabinet space, and add-on auxiliary blocks enable scalable control without replacing the base device. Overall, these features lower maintenance costs, shorten commissioning, and improve uptime for motor control in automation lines.
