Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AFC16-30-01K-51 uses a 3P design rated for 690 V insulation with 1 NC auxiliary contact, delivering reliable control of heavier motor loads in AC-3 applications and reducing mis-synchronization in multi-line panels. This translates to smoother start-ups and lower contact wear in conveyor systems or packaging lines. The coil is designed for 400-415 V AC at 50 Hz or 480 V at 60 Hz, enabling consistent control from common industrial power sources and simplifying panel design for mixed voltage environments. The device employs Push-in Spring Terminals and supports DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5), which speeds wiring and enables modular, scalable installations in control cabinets. With 30 A AC-1 and 18 A AC-3 ratings at typical voltages, you gain predictable performance, better thermal management, and easier compliance with short-circuit requirements in heavy-duty line systems. Compatibility with add-on auxiliary blocks and various accessories provides a future-proof path for expansion without reworking the entire control scheme. The unit’s low coil consumption—holding and pull-in values at 50/60 Hz—helps reduce energy use in continuous operation and lowers overall heat generation in crowded electrical rooms. Field installers benefit from clear documentation and standard terminals, minimizing commissioning time and training needs. In high-density panels, the compact width of 45 mm and depth of 77 mm free up space for additional protection devices and wiring runs, improving overall panel density and serviceability. This combination of efficiency, compliance, and expansion capability makes the AFC16-30-01K-51 a practical choice for HVAC motor starters, drives, and general-purpose power control in manufacturing and process environments.

FAQs
This block contactor supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 profiles, enabling fast, secure installation in compact control panels. It also allows screw mounting if required, and its 45 mm width helps optimize cabinet density while maintaining accessibility for wiring and diagnostics.
For AC-3, ratings include 18 A at 690 V, 18 A at 380/400 V, and 15 A at 500 V in many configurations; AC-1 ratings reach up to 30 A at 690 V. These values support motor control and general power switching with predictable thermal performance under standard ambient conditions.
Yes. With 3 main NO contacts and 1 NC auxiliary contact, plus AC-3 power switching capabilities up to 9 kW at 415 V, it is well-suited for HVAC fan motors, pumps, and drive starter circuits. Its leverless coil and low power consumption help reduce energy use in continuous operation.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1, along with CE and UKCA declarations. IP20 protection for terminals and a broad certification set supports global deployment and regulatory compliance in industrial environments.
The unit’s low coil consumption and 3-pole, 1 NC auxiliary configuration reduce standby heat and energy costs. Push-in terminals simplify wiring and commissioning, while the extendable auxiliary contact blocks minimize future rework. Overall, this translates to lower maintenance costs and faster return on investment in production lines.
