Part Number: 1SBL171201R5100
Quick Summary
ABB 1SBL171201R5100 Block Contactor is a four-pole, 690 V AC control device designed to switch power circuits up to 30 A in industrial drives and general motor control. Engineers often contend with compact DIN-rail solutions that run hot under AC-3 loads or lack scalable accessories for future expansion. This device complies with IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and UL 60947-4-1, and carries CE and UKCA declarations, while offering IP20 protection for both coil and main terminals. With the AF platform, the coil drive remains efficient at 400–415 V AC 50 Hz or 480 V AC 60 Hz, and the block design accepts add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a wide range of accessories to simplify installation and reduce spare parts.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Four NO main contacts in a 4P block contactor provide robust power switching for AC-1 loads up to 30 A, reducing wiring complexity and component counts in control cabinets and improving overall reliability. Application includes motor starters, pumps, and conveyor drives in manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Coil voltage options of 400–415 V at 50 Hz and 480 V at 60 Hz enable seamless control from regional standards without additional transformers, simplifying panel design and enabling global deployments. Application spans automation panels and field devices across multinational facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low coil power consumption and defined power losses (1.2 W per pole in AC-1, 0.35 W in AC-3) minimize heat in control cabinets and lower energy costs over life cycles. Application benefits continuous operation in HVAC fans and process equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: DIN rail mounting (TH35) and screw-terminal wiring provide fast, secure installation and flexible conductor sizing, reducing commissioning time. Application suits retrofit projects and new machine builds in harsh industrial environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP20 protection and adherence to IEC/UL standards reduce compliance risk and enable reliable operation inside panel enclosures. Application is indoor factory automation and panel installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Expandability with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and accessories supports future automation needs, enabling scalable control architectures without replacing the base device. Application includes modular line-starts and multi-function control schemes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Precise operate times (9–20 ms coil de-energization to NC closing; 10–26 ms energization to NO closing) ensure predictable motor start/stop sequences, improving process stability in packaging lines and conveyors.

FAQs
Install the unit using the TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and secure it with standard 2x M4 screws if mounting by screws is chosen. For wiring, connect the Main Circuit with flexible ferrule 0.75–6 mm² or rigid 0.75–6 mm² and the Auxiliary/Control circuits with 0.75–2.5 mm² depending on the circuit. Tighten main terminals to 1.5 N·m and refer to the provided wiring guidelines to ensure IP20 protection remains intact.
The coil operates at 50 Hz with 400–415 V, or at 60 Hz with 480 V. These options enable direct integration with regional control circuits without additional transformers. Coil current values include holding and pull-in energy, supporting stable operation across typical industrial control panels.
Yes. The device is rated for AC-1 up to 30 A at 690 V and 40 °C, and usable at 60 °C with the same Ie rating. For AC-3, ratings include 18 A at several voltages (e.g., 415 V, 60 °C; 690 V loads). This makes it suitable for motor starters, pumps, and general purpose power switching under normal industrial conditions.
This product carries CE and UKCA declarations, UL/CSA listings, and IP20 protection for coil and main terminals. It adheres to IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 standards, with RoHS/REACH compliance and WEEE for B2B use. These certifications simplify regulatory approvals in European and North American deployments.
Expect reduced wiring complexity and faster commissioning from a 4-pole, screw-terminal design plus DIN-rail mounting. Low coil power (8 VA hold, 70/66 VA pull-in) reduces heat and energy use, while modularity lets you add auxiliary contacts later without replacing the base unit, lowering total cost of ownership in dynamic production environments.
