ABB AF16ZB-22-00-22 Block Contactor - 690V IEC/UL
Part Number: 1SBL176561R2200
Quick Summary
ABB AF16ZB-22-00-22 is a 4-pole block contactor designed to control 3-phase motors up to 7.5 kW at 400–690 V AC. In networks with fluctuating control voltages, traditional relays can chatter or fail to start; AF technology tolerates a wide control voltage range of 48–130 V AC/60 Hz and DC, delivering reliable operation and reduced panel energy waste. The device carries IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and IEC/EN 60947-1 standards, plus UL 60335-2-40 and CE (UKCA where applicable), ensuring safe installation across global markets. Its compact 4P block design, screw terminals, built-in surge protection, and compatibility with auxiliary contact blocks support scalable, hard-wearing control architectures for modern industrial panels.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL176561R2200 ABB: The AF16ZB-22-00-22 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 (48-130 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 contactor offers DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 profiles, and it can be screw-mounted using 2 x M4 screws diagonally. This provides flexible installation in compact panels and reduces wiring complexity.
AC-1 rating is 30 A at 690 V (40 °C), 30 A at 690 V (60 °C), and 26 A at 690 V (70 °C). AC-3 ratings include 18 A at 440–690 V (60 °C), 10.5 A at 690 V (60 °C), with 18 A at 380/400 V (60 °C) and 18 A at 220/230/240 V (60 °C). Power at AC-3 reaches up to 9 kW depending on voltage.
Yes. The AF16ZB-22-00-22 is designed for motor control and protection with rolling stock applications in mind, while also meeting general industrial standards. Its AF technology supports reliable operation in variable networks, and it is compatible with add-on auxiliary blocks for expanded control logic.
It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, UL 60947-1, CSA standards, and carries CE and UKCA markings where applicable, ensuring global acceptance and regulatory compliance.
ROI benefits arise from reduced panel energy consumption due to the wide control voltage tolerance, lower maintenance thanks to built-in surge protection, and scalable control via add-on contact blocks. The compact footprint also lowers enclosure costs and simplifies future upgrades.
