In installations with fluctuating control voltages, it helps reduce panel energy use and prevents nuisance tripping by operating reliably across a wide control voltage range. It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, and CSA/CE declarations, delivering reliability across global panels. Designed for quick DIN rail mounting and compatible with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, it supports compact, scalable automation solutions. This is valuable for OEMs and service providers seeking predictable performance and lower lifecycle costs. The product aligns with ABB EcoSolutions for sustainable packaging and end-of-life considerations.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL176261R2300 ABB: The AF16ZB-40-00-23 is a 4 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw 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 (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-40-00-23 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and can be secured with two M4 screws for panel mounting. Main and control circuits use screw terminals, with flexible and rigid conductor options. This enables quick upgrades, reliable field replacement, and straightforward wiring in compact control panels.
It has four normally open main contacts (4P) with a main circuit rating up to 690 V and currents of 30 A AC-1, 18 A AC-3 at relevant voltages. The coil operates at 100–250 V (AC or DC). This combination supports motor control up to 7.5 kW at 400 V (AC-3) and higher ratings at elevated voltages, offering versatile panel design.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and carries UL/CSA listings including UL 60335-2-40. Additional certifications referenced include CCC, KC, GOST, CQC, and CE/UKCA conformity where applicable. For application-specific conformance, consult ABB to confirm exact certification coverage for your region and standard mix.
AF technology provides a broad control voltage range of 100–250 V AC/DC, enabling stable operation despite voltage fluctuations. This reduces tripping and control circuit energy waste, improves reliability in variable supply environments, and supports consistent motor starting performance, which translates to lower maintenance costs and higher panel uptime in field deployments.
Key factors include low control power loss—1.2 W per pole in AC-1 and 0.35 W per pole in AC-3—yielding reduced heat and cooling needs. With four poles, losses are minimized, improving panel efficiency. The compact DIN-rail form factor lowers material costs and simplifies installation, contributing to faster time-to-production and lower lifecycle costs.
