Part Number: 1SBL176061R2301
Quick Summary
AF16ZB-30-01-23 is a 3-pole block contactor for 690 V motor control in industrial settings. It addresses panel energy waste and switching instability caused by fluctuating control voltages, delivering consistent operation across voltage variations. It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-40, and EN 50155 for rolling stock where applicable, supporting global usage. Designed with ABB AF technology, it tolerates wide control voltage variations from 100 to 250 V AC/DC, reducing panel energy consumption and avoiding nuisance coil trips. The unit is DIN-rail mountable with screw terminals and built-in surge protection, and can be extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling scalable control architectures while delivering compact, reliable performance for OEMs and service teams.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL176061R2301 ABB: The AF16ZB-30-01-23 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with 1 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 wide control voltage range (100-250 V 50/60 Hz and DC), managing large control voltage variations, 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.

FAQs
The AF16ZB-30-01-23 is designed for TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails. Mount the device on the rail and secure with the latch. Use 0.75–6 mm² cross-section for main circuit conductor, and 0.75–2.5 mm² for control and auxiliary circuits with screw terminals. Follow standard terminal torque specs to ensure reliable contacts and minimize connection resistance.
Rated Operational Current AC-1 at 690 V is 30 A (60 °C) and 26 A (70 °C); AC-3 and AC-3e ratings at 690 V span from 10.5 A to 18 A depending on configuration. The unit also includes 1 auxiliary NC contact, enabling signaling without extra relays. These figures support reliable motor switching in industrial drives.
Yes. The AF16ZB-30-01-23 carries standards aligned with rolling stock requirements, including EN 50155 applicability, and UL/CSA assessments. This makes it suitable for rail environments where vibration, temperature variations, and transient events demand rugged, certified motor control solutions.
Key certifications include IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-40, and EN 50155 for rail applications. The device also references UL/CSA harmonized safety standards and ABB’s compliance declarations across regions to support global deployment.
The contactor’s wide control voltage range reduces panel redesigns, built-in surge protection minimizes failures, and compact DIN-rail mounting shortens installation time. Its low power loss per pole lowers heat and energy consumption, while modular auxiliary options enable scalable control architectures without replacing hardware, improving uptime and reducing lifecycle costs.
