Quick Summary
The ABB AFC16-04-00-51 block contactor is designed to switch AC power for motors and general industrial loads. In crowded control panels, engineers often struggle with space constraints, wiring complexity, and the need for fast dependable operation. It carries IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and UL 60947-1 certifications, with CE and UKCA markings to support global deployments. The unit's DIN rail mounting, screw terminals, and optional auxiliary blocks enable scalable, cost-efficient installations and easier maintenance. That combination translates to shorter commissioning times, reduced repair costs, and clearer documentation for audits. For reliability, ABB's AFC series also reflects robust thermal and mechanical design suitable for harsh industrial environments.

The AFC16-04-00-51 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 (35 x 15 mm) and TH35-7.5 rails, as well as mounting by screws (two M4 screws diagonally). This provides flexible installation in compact control panels and allows quick replacement or expansion without major wiring changes.
Main circuit rated 690 V with 30 A rated operational current at 40 °C (AC-1). For AC-3 operation, current ratings vary by voltage (e.g., around 5 A at 415–690 V). It supports up to 4 poles with 4 NC contacts, suitable for high-energy motor control and general electrical loads in industrial settings.
Yes. It carries UL/CSA General Use ratings for 600 V AC at 30 A and conforms to UL 60947-1 and UL 60947-4-1 standards. This makes the AFC16-04-00-51 appropriate for global deployments that require recognized safety and performance certifications.
Coil control voltage is 400-415 V AC at 50/60 Hz or 480 V AC at 60 Hz, with coil consumption values including holding and pull-in power. These specs enable reliable energization in varied electrical systems and help predict control power budgets in panel designs.
The AFC16-04-00-51 meets IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, and is CE and UKCA marked. Additional attestations include BV, CB, and other global certifications, supporting cross-border compliance for industrial machinery and control panels.
