ABB AF16Z-30-01-30 24VDC Contactor - IEC/UL Safety
Part Number: 1SBL176001R3001
Quick Summary
ABB AF16Z-30-01-30 24VDC Contactor is a 3-pole motor-contactor designed to switch motors up to 7.5 kW at 400 V AC in electrical panels. In practice, coil energy waste and control reliability are common pain points when designing compact, PLC-driven control panels. It meets IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA standards, with CE and UKCA declarations to support global deployments. The AF technology delivers a reduced holding current of 1.7 W and enables direct PLC control by standard 24 V DC outputs ≥ 250 mA, reducing panel energy consumption and eliminating extra interface relays. Its built-in surge protection and compact block design help streamline installation and maintenance while improving overall system reliability.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL176001R3001 ABB: The AF16Z-30-01-30 is a 3-pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with one built-in auxiliary contact and screw terminals, controlling motors up to 7.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 10 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 30 A (AC-1) or 30 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a 24 V DC coil, featuring a reduced holding coil consumption down to 1.7 W and offering the possibility of a direct control by PLC-output ≥ 250 mA 24 V DC, without need of additional interface relay, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

Feature AF technology delivers a 24 V DC coil with a holding current as low as 1.7 W, reducing energy draw in the control panel and lowering total cost of ownership. Business Impact Lower energy consumption, simpler cooling, and smaller panel footprints. Application Ideal for PLC-driven motor control in packaging, process, and material handling lines where reliable, energy-efficient switching is required. Application note Direct PLC control is supported without an external relay, enabling faster wiring and fewer components in the control circuit. Feature Three-pole main contacts (NO) and one NC auxiliary contact provide compact power switching for 3-phase motors up to 7.5 kW at 400 V AC and 30 A (AC-1/AC-3 context). Business Impact Higher motor load capability in a single device with reduced part count. Application Suitable for HVAC, conveyors, and general machine control where auxiliary feedback is needed. Feature Built-in surge protection and a block design allow easy extension with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and accessories. Business Impact Fewer components, faster upgrades, and scalable control architecture. Application Works seamlessly with ABB AF family accessories to tailor protection, signaling, and interlock functions within standard DIN rail enclosures. Feature Compact dimensions (45 mm W × 97 mm D × 86 mm H) and IP20 protection make installation straightforward in crowded panels. Business Impact Saves cabinet space and simplifies cable routing. Application Excellent for compact panels with limited footprint. Feature DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and screw-terminal connections for main, auxiliary, and control circuits. Business Impact Quick, secure mounting and versatile wiring options. Application Suitable for factory automation and machine builders seeking fast, reliable deployments. Feature 690 V rated insulation and AC-3/AC-1 current ratings (Ie) across temperature ranges, with robust impulse withstand and short-time ratings. Business Impact Ensures compliance with standards while supporting diverse supply worldwide. Application Critical for safety and uptime in heavy-duty drives and general-purpose contactor duties.

FAQs
Install on a TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) with 2x M4 screws for secure mounting. Use screw-terminals for main, auxiliary, and control circuits and ensure proper cable ferrule sizing per Connecting Capacity specs. The compact 45 mm width fits dense panel layouts, simplifying wire routing and reducing enclosure space requirements.
Main circuit rated up to 690 V AC with a conventional free-air Ith around 35 A and IeAC-3 up to 10.5 A at 690 V (60 °C). The device has 3 NO main contacts and 1 NC auxiliary contact, a 24 V DC control coil, and impulse withstand of 6 kV. It supports AC-3 power up to 9 kW at higher voltages and offers direct PLC drive capabilities.
Yes. The 24 V DC coil is designed for direct PLC outputs ≥ 250 mA, eliminating the need for an interface relay in many standard control schemes. This reduces panel complexity, wiring, and potential points of failure while improving control response times in automation sequences.
The AF16Z-30-01-30 complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, and CSA safety requirements, with CE and UKCA declarations. It also carries RoHS and REACH declarations, supporting global product compliance in machinery and electrical installations.
AF technology reduces coil holding power to 1.7 W, lowering energy consumption and reducing heat in control panels. Fewer components and built-in surge protection translate to longer mean time between maintenance, lower cooling requirements, and improved reliability in demanding industrial environments.
