Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AFC16-04-00-81 uses a 24 V AC coil which enables predictable control at common industrial voltages, reducing coil drive complexity and improving reliability in motor control circuits. This directly translates to fewer misstarts and extended equipment uptime in conveyors and presses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Four normally closed main contacts (NC) in a compact 45 mm width and 77 mm depth deliver four-pole control for single and multi-mpeed motors, enabling space-saving installation in compact control panels and machine tops. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated for 690 V main circuit with IEC/UL compliance, the block contactor supports high-voltage switching while maintaining safe insulation and predictable switching performance in AC-1 and AC-3 applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Screw terminals and a robust terminal design streamline wiring, save assembly time, and facilitate secure field connections, reducing maintenance calls and downtime in OEM machinery. Feature → Business Impact → Application: DIN-rail mounting compatibility (TH35-15 and TH35-7.5) simplifies panel layout, allowing quick retrofits and modular expansion with AF accessory blocks for auxiliary contacts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low coil power loss (1.2 W per pole at AC-1) contributes to overall energy efficiency and cooler panel environments, supporting longer device life in continuous operation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High short-time withstand capacity (Icw) and maximum breaking capacity at 440–690 V enable safe isolation and controlled start-up of motors and drives, reducing arcing and improving operator safety. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS, REACH, and multiple international certificates (UL/CSA, BV, DNV, RINA, CCC, CE/UKCA) ensure compliance across global supply chains, easing procurement and regulatory audits for manufacturers in automotive, packaging, and material handling.

FAQs
The AFC16-04-00-81 supports mounting on DIN rails (TH35-15 and TH35-7.5) and can be secured with two M4 screws. This makes it straightforward to install in standard control panels and enables modular expansion with add-on accessory blocks, reducing installation time and space requirements.
For AC-1 applications at 690 V, the rated operational current is 30 A per pole. For AC-3 configurations at various voltages (up to 690 V), the device offers switching suitable for motor start/stop with 5.1–5.7 A depending on voltage, enabling appropriate sizing for motor loads and drives.
Yes. The AFC16-04-00-81 is designed to meet UL and CSA standards for main circuit ratings up to 600 V UL/CSA and 690 V insulation, with certified construction and wiring practices. Compliance supports deployment in North American automation panels and equipment.
The contactor uses a 24 V AC coil (50 Hz or 60 Hz). This control voltage is common in standard automation panels and supports reliable coil energization with low drive current, contributing to reduced control wiring complexity and energy use.
Main circuit terminals use screw connections with a 1/2 x 4 mm² to 6 mm² flex or rigid conductor range, and control circuit terminals are also screw-type. Tightening torques are 1.5 N·m for main circuit and 1.2 N·m for control circuit, ensuring secure connections and consistent performance in daily operation.
