ABB 1SBL177201R1200 Block Contactor - IEC/EN 60947-4-1
Part Number: 1SBL177201R1200
Quick Summary
ABB 1SBL177201R1200 is a block contactor used to control motors in industrial automation panels. In networks with voltage fluctuations, control voltages can drift, causing unreliable starts and wasted energy. This device is built around AF technology with a wide control voltage range of 48–130 V (AC) or DC, and it includes built-in surge protection to stabilize operation. It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and UL 60335-2-40 (alongside CSA/CAN standards), ensuring safety and performance across global deployments. For panel builders and maintenance teams, the combination of a compact 45 mm width, screw terminals, and easy DIN rail mounting delivers consistent, compliant motor protection and control in tight spaces.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL177201R1200 ABB: The AF16-40-00-12 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.

Feature: Four-pole 4 NO main contacts rated for 690 V main circuit enable direct motor control with minimal wiring. Business impact: Simplifies wiring schemes and reduces enclosure footprint while delivering robust AC-3 loads up to 18 A at higher voltages, with up to 9 kW of motor power in common 400–690 V systems. Application: Ideal for inverter-fed drives and legacy motor circuits in manufacturing lines. Feature: Wide control voltage range of 48–130 V across AC and DC control circuits. Business impact: Tolerates supply variations and reduces start-up delays, cutting energy waste and improving reliability in unstable networks. Application: Suitable for panel environments where control voltage is derived from fluctuating sources. Feature: Built-in surge protection and compact AF technology. Business impact: Lowers external protection requirements and panel costs while increasing uptime; Application: Works well in crowded control panels with limited space. Feature: Modular, block-type design with optional add-on auxiliary contact blocks. Business impact: Scales with evolving automation needs without replacing the base device; Application: Quick upgrades for control logic expansion. Feature: DIN rail mounting support (TH35) and screw-terminal options. Business impact: Streamlines installation and maintenance in standard enclosures; Application: Preferred for field retrofit projects and new panel builds. Feature: Robust connections and IP20 protection. Business impact: Improves reliability in industrial environments and reduces maintenance intervals; Application: Enduring performance for motor protection and control in demanding environments.

Main circuit connections use screw terminals and accept flexible ferrule conductors from 0.75 to 6 mm², while control and auxiliary circuits support smaller sizes. Wire stripping length is 10 mm for both main and control circuits. This configuration simplifies retrofits and new installations while ensuring solid, code-compliant connections.
For AC-3 motor loads, the device provides up to 18 A at 415–690 V, with a 7.5 kW rating at 400 V and up to 9 kW at higher voltages, depending on the voltage category. The main circuit is rated up to 690 V, and the coil operates from 48–130 V AC or DC. This makes it well-suited for standard motor control in 400 V to 690 V systems.
Yes. The ABB AF contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, and related CSA/CAN standards. It also features IP20 protection for coil and main terminals, ensuring safe operation in typical industrial environments. These certifications support global deployments and regulatory compliance in motor control applications.
The unit incorporates built-in surge protection and AF technology for reduced energy fluctuations, contributing to longer coil life and fewer nuisance trips. Its modular block design allows easy expansion with auxiliary contact blocks, minimizing replacement needs as control logic evolves. The compact 45 mm width and robust screw terminals also streamline maintenance and improve reliability in dense control panels.
ROI benefits arise from reduced energy waste due to voltage tolerance, lower external protection components because of built-in surge protection, and faster installation with DIN-rail mounting. The 4P design supports common motor loads up to 9 kW in many applications, reducing the need for multiple devices. Combined with compact form factor, these factors shorten commissioning time and lower total installed cost.
