FAQs
The AF16-40-00K-12 supports both DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and mounting by screws (2 x M4). This provides flexible deployment in MCCs and control panels. When wiring, use Push-in Spring Terminals for main and control circuits to speed installation and improve reliability in vibratory environments.
For AC-1 operation at 690 V, the device provides 30 A at 40 °C, with 30 A at 60 °C and 26 A at 70 °C. For AC-3 operation, ratings vary by voltage and temperature, such as 18 A at 415–690 V and up to 10.5 A at 690 V. Power ratings reach up to 9 kW (AC-3) across several voltages.
Yes. The AF16-40-00K-12 coil accepts 48–130 V across AC 50/60 Hz and DC operation. This broad range accommodates voltage variation in unstable networks and supports reliable actuation of mechanical loads without frequent coil failures, reducing control-panel downtime and energy waste.
This ABB contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 60947-1-13, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1. These certifications support global installation in panels and machines, easing regulatory approvals and adoption in multinational projects.
The 4P design, push-in terminals, integrated surge protection, and modular auxiliary add-ons reduce wiring time and spare parts, lowering installation and maintenance costs. Its long electrical/mechanical endurance, IP20 protection, and wide operating-temperature range improve uptime in conveyors, pumps, and fans, delivering measurable total cost of ownership savings over typical lifecycle replacements.
