ABB AF16ZB-40-00RT-21 Block Contactor - IEC 60947-4-1
Part Number: 1SBL176260R2100
Quick Summary
The ABB AF16ZB-40-00RT-21 is a 4-pole block contactor with a wide control-voltage range of 24–60 V at 50/60 Hz and 20–60 V DC for stable operation in networks with voltage variation. This design helps minimize panel energy waste and reduces misoperations in fluctuating environments. It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and UL 60947-4-1, with CE/UKCA declarations and UL listings supporting global deployment. For OEMs and integrators, the device delivers reliable motor control with scalable expansion via add-on auxiliary contact blocks and seamless DIN-rail installation, while maintaining compact form-factor. In rolling stock, conveyors, and general purpose machinery, its rugged construction and wide voltage tolerance translate to lower maintenance and longer service intervals.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL176260R2100 ABB: The AF16ZB-40-00RT-21 is a 4 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with Ring-Tongue Terminals, controlling motors up to 7.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) 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 (24-60 V 50/60 Hz and 20-60 V 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
This unit is designed for DIN-rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and uses Ring-Tongue terminals for main and control wiring. It can also be mounted with two M4 screws if needed. The compact 45 mm width and 86 mm height help conserve panel space while maintaining serviceability.
The coil accepts 24–60 V depending on frequency (AC 50/60 Hz) and 20–60 V DC. This wide coil range reduces panel stocking needs and improves operation stability in networks with voltage fluctuations.
Main circuit rated voltage is 690 V with AC-1 current rating of up to 30 A and AC-3 current ratings around 10.5–18 A depending on voltage and temperature. The maximum electrical switching frequency is 600 cycles per hour for AC-1, with a mechanical limit of up to 3600 cycles per hour.
It conforms to IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA, and offers CE/UKCA declarations. The product is listed under UL_E319322 and supports RoHS, REACH, and WEEE compliance, providing regulatory confidence for global deployments.
Ideal for motor control in conveyors, fans, rolling stock protection, and general purpose automation. Its wide voltage tolerance, surge protection, and extendable auxiliary contacts make it suitable for scalable control architectures, reducing panel complexity and improving reliability in demanding industrial environments.
