FAQs
This 4-pole block contactor uses Push-in Spring Terminals with wire termination compatible with flexible or rigid conductors in the 0.5 to 4 mm² range for the main circuit and 0.5 to 2.5 mm² for the control circuit. It mounts on standard DIN rails (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5), and requires two M4 screws for panel fixation. Ensure control wiring is segregated from power conductors and follow local electrical codes during installation.
AF technology provides a wide control voltage range (24–60 V AC, 24–60 V DC), allowing the coil to operate reliably despite voltage fluctuations. This reduces nuisance tripping, lowers energy losses due to unnecessary coil energization, and improves overall drive reliability in networks with unstable voltages or long wiring runs.
Yes. The AF16Z-40-00K-21 design supports AC-3 duty with main circuit voltage up to 690 V. Rated operational power is listed as up to 9 kW across various voltages, with a 7.5 kW example at 400 V AC (AC-3). This makes it well-suited for motor control applications in standard industrial equipment.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 60947-1-13, and CSA No. 60947-4-1, with CE and UKCA declarations for international markets. These certifications ensure safe operation, electrical compatibility, and regulatory compliance across regions.
The integrated surge protection and AF voltage tolerance contribute to fewer contactor trips and reduced wear, translating to lower maintenance costs and less downtime. The compact footprint and DIN-rail mounting simplify installation and future expansions, improving lifecycle management and return on investment in motor control and protection schemes.
