FAQs
The device supports TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 DIN rails. Use 2 x M4 screws for mounting and connect the main circuit with rigid 1/2 x 1 to 6 mm² or ferrule-wired conductors per the Connecting Capacity specs. Tighten main terminals to 1.5 N·m and control terminals to 1.2 N·m. This yields secure mechanical mounting and reliable electrical connections in control panels.
The coil is rated for 50 Hz at 175 V and 60 Hz at 208 V. This aligns with standard control circuits in industrial automation, allowing direct interfacing with common control voltages without additional transformers. Coil consumption is 8 V·A hold, with pull-in values of 70 V·A (50 Hz) and 66 V·A (60 Hz).
Yes. It is rated for AC-1 up to 30 A at 690 V (open contactors suitable for general use) and provides AC-3 ratings appropriate for motor switching across voltages up to 690 V. This makes it suitable for motor starters and starter-controlled power distributions in manufacturing environments.
The AFC16-04-00-34 complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1/60947-4-1, CAN/CSA equivalents, and carries CE and UKCA declarations. These certifications support safe, compliant integration in European, North American, and other international panel builds.
With a modular AF platform, add-on auxiliary contacts, and a compact DIN-rail footprint, installation time decreases and maintenance is simplified. Reliable 690 V switching and robust coil performance reduce downtime and spare-parts inventory, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the device’s service life.
