ABB AFC16-30-10K-85 Block Contactor - IEC/UL 60947-4-1
Part Number: 1SBL171005R8510
Quick Summary
ABB AFC16-30-10K-85 block contactor is a three-pole device designed to control heavy-power circuits up to 7.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3) or 10 hp UL ratings, with one normally open auxiliary contact. This product helps engineers simplify panel layouts while delivering reliable switching in demanding environments. A key pain point is reliable operation in compact spaces; this AFC series uses Push-in terminals and a block design to minimize wiring complexity and assembly time. It carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 compliance, ensuring regulatory readiness. For automation projects, the combination of space efficiency, robust current ratings, and straightforward accessory expansion provides measurable business value, from reduced panel size to faster commissioning and safer maintenance.
Product Information

FAQs
The AFC16-30-10K-85 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and can be fastened with two M4 screws. This enables quick installation in standard control cabinets and simplifies future panel rearrangements. Push-in terminals also make wiring straightforward, reducing termination time and potential loose connections.
This model provides three main normally open contacts (NO) and one auxiliary normally open contact (NO). Rated operational current for AC-3 at 690 V is 18 A (60 °C) and 10.5 A for higher voltage variants; AC-1 ratings reach 30 A at 690 V (60 °C). The 3P configuration makes it suitable for motor and general power control in demanding circuits.
Yes. With a rigid 3-pole design, 690 V insulation, and 30 A AC-3/AC-1 ratings, it supports motor control up to 7.5 kW at 400 V and 10 hp UL ratings. Its compact block design and easy accessory expansion make it well-suited for packaging lines and other power-control applications in automated conveyors.
The AFC16-30-10K-85 adheres to IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1, with CE/UKCA declarations and other certifications available. This ensures regulatory compliance across global markets and supports safe integration into industrial control systems.
Low coil power (8 V·A holding, 70 V·A pull-in) and per-pole power loss of 1.64 W (AC-1) and 0.6 W (AC-3) reduce energy use and heat in control cabinets. The compact DIN-rail design, robust mechanical life, and straightforward accessory upgrades improve uptime and reduce commissioning time, delivering a favorable return on investment over its lifecycle.
