FAQs
Mount the device on a TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) using the integrated support. Secure with 2 x M4 screws placed diagonally. Main circuit connections use screw terminals with flexible or rigid conductors (0.5 to 6 mm² or 16-10 AWG for UL/CSA). Tighten main terminals to 1.5 N·m and control terminals to 1.2 N·m. Wire-stripping length for all circuits is 10 mm. Ensure IP20 protection and proper insulation; use the included or compatible auxiliary blocks if signaling is required.
For AC-1 operation at 690 V, the device supports up to 30 A, while AC-3 ratings include 18 A at several voltages (e.g., 380/400 V, 415 V, 440 V, up to 690 V). Use AC-1 for non-motor loads or light starting, and AC-3 for motor starting and other inductive loads. The contactor provides a rated switching capacity and short-time withstand current suitable for panel design, with a maximum breaking capacity aligned to cosφ values.
Yes. The AF16-40-00-13LU is dedicated to UL lighting and similar loads, featuring built-in surge protection and a 4-pole block design. Its 690 V main circuit rating and 100-250 V control range support reliable switching in lighting panels, while the compact footprint and screw-terminal connections simplify installation and maintenance in UL/CSA-compliant environments.
This device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 (LZGH2 A2L), and CSA C22.2 standards. It carries a CE and UKCA declaration of conformity and RoHS/REACH declarations. CB certification is also listed for broader international compatibility. These certifications support safe, compliant deployments across Europe and North America.
The AF16-40-00-13LU reduces energy draw with coil power losses of 1.2 W per pole in AC-1 and 0.35 W per pole in AC-3, contributing to lower energy costs over the device life. Built-in surge protection and a modular design reduce maintenance and upgrade costs, while wide control voltage tolerance lowers inventory and spare parts needs. These factors deliver improved reliability and a faster return on investment in modern control panels.
