FAQs
Mount the contactor on a TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail per IEC 60715. Main terminals use screw connections and coil terminals are IP20-protected. For secure installation, fasten with two M4 screws diagonally if mounting by screws is chosen, and apply the recommended tightening torques (main 1.5 N·m, control 1.2 N·m).
The device provides a rated operational current Ie of 30 A at 690 V (40 °C and 60 °C variants) and supports motors up to 7.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3). This means reliable starting and switching for medium-sized motors, with a maximum breaking capacity compatible with typical industrial loads.
The AF contactor accepts 250–500 V for AC 50/60 Hz and DC operation. AF technology accommodates large control voltage variations, improving reliability in unstable networks and reducing energy consumption in control circuits by stabilizing coil energization and response times.
It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and UL/CSA listings, including UL 60335-2-40 LZGH2 and CSA equivalents. Additional declarations cover CE, UKCA, RoHS, REACH, and WEEE considerations, supporting global product acceptance and regulatory alignment.
Follow the recommended 1.2 N·m control and 1.5 N·m main torque, use compatible wire sizes (0.75–6 mm² main, 0.75–2.5 mm² control) and ensure IP20 protection on terminations. Plan for expansion with auxiliary contact blocks and verify compatibility with add-ons and accessories to maintain reliable operation in evolving automation layouts.
