4 NC main contacts provide robust switching for reliable power circuit control, reducing wear and maintenance in continuous operation. This directly translates to longer service intervals and lower downtime in conveyors, pumps, and fans. The coil voltage options—230-240 V AC at 50 Hz and 240-260 V AC at 60 Hz—enable seamless integration with common control circuits, lowering engineering effort during panel updates and spares stocking. A 690 V rated insulation voltage supports high-voltage motor starters, expanding application scope across plant processes while maintaining safety margins. DIN rail mounting TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 simplifies installation in new and existing cabinets, speeding up commissioning and retrofitting projects. Screw terminals and flexible conductor compatibility reduce wiring time and ensure secure connections in demanding environments. Power loss figures—1.2 W per pole (AC-1) and 0.35 W per pole (AC-3)—drive energy efficiency in control cabinets, lowering operating temperatures and cooling costs. The compact dimensions (45 mm width, 77 mm depth, 86 mm height) and light weight (0.303 kg) save panel space and enable dense layouts, improving maintainability and accessibility.

FAQs
The AFC16-04-00-88 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 profiles for fast, standardized installation. Use the screw terminals on the main circuit with flexible ferrules or rigid conductors per the wiring capacity table, and connect the control circuit through the coil terminals with the specified stripping lengths of 10 mm. For retrofits, ensure existing panel space accommodates its 45 mm width and 86 mm height, and verify compatible auxiliary contact blocks are added only if required for your control logic.
Main circuit rated operational current for AC-1 at 690 V is 30 A (at 40 °C and 60 °C) and 26 A at 70 °C, enabling reliable switching of resistive and minorly inductive loads. For AC-3, the rated operational current varies by voltage and temperature, with examples like 5.1–5.7 A at higher voltages. This makes the AFC16-04-00-88 suitable for motor starters and similar inductive loads, while still providing a compact footprint and predictable thermal behavior in the panel.
Yes. With four normally closed main contacts and a 690 V insulation rating, the AFC16-04-00-88 is well-suited for HVAC compressors, conveyors, and pumps where reliable motor starting and safe disconnection are required. The 230–240 V or 240–260 V coil options align with standard facility control voltages, and the option to extend with accessory contact blocks supports more complex control schemes common in HVAC and material handling applications.
This contactor carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance, UL 60947-1/60947-4-1, UL/CSA listings, and CE/UKCA marks, along with IP20 protection for coil and main terminals. These certifications ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory acceptance across many regions, simplifying procurement and reducing the need for additional verification tests in common industrial installations.
The unit uses low coil power, with 1.2 W per pole for AC-1 operation and 0.35 W per pole for AC-3, contributing to reduced standby losses and cooler equipment. The 4 NC configuration minimizes contact wear during switching and extends service intervals. Additionally, compatibility with add-on auxiliary contact blocks supports scalable integration in automation panels, lowering lifecycle costs by preventing early component replacement and simplifying upgrades.
