Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AFC26-40-00-51 uses a 4-pole, NO main contact arrangement, reducing panel wiring complexity and improving reliability in motor control circuits. This translates to fewer parts to stock and faster commissioning in conveyor lines, pumps, and fans. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Coil voltage options of 400-415 V at 50 Hz and 480 V at 60 Hz ensure cross‑regional compatibility, simplifying global installations and reducing the need for multiple coil variants. Application: suitable for 50/60 Hz AC control systems in manufacturing plants that require consistent magnetic switching without sacrificing timing performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated operational current AC-1 up to 45 A at 690 V and AC-3 up to 23.2 A at common voltages provide safe motor starting for medium-sized loads, improving startup reliability for drives and compressors. Application: motor starters in machine tools, material handling, and process equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low coil power loss (1.6 W per pole in AC-1; 0.42 W per pole in AC-3) reduces energy consumption and minimizes heat in control panels, supporting compact enclosure designs. Application: energy-efficient control cabinets and reduced cooling requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Screw terminals and flexible conductor ranges (1.5 to 16 mm²) enable quick, secure wiring and easier field retrofits. Application: panel upgrades and retrofit projects with diverse conductor types. Feature → Business Impact → Application: DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and accessible mounting hardware speed installation and service, reducing field labor and downtime in factory automation environments. Application: panel assembly, switchgear, and line-side protection. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance and certifications (IEC/UL/CSA CE/UKCA) ensure regulatory alignment across regions, enabling faster time-to-market and safer integration in certified systems. Application: critical for automotive, food & beverage, and other regulated industries. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP20 protection and a wide ambient temperature range (-40 to +70 °C near the cont actuator; storage -60 to +80 °C) allow operation in harsh factory environments, minimizing failures due to dust, vibration, or thermal stress. Application: outdoor or dusty production lines with robust enclosure requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Comprehensive electrical and mechanical data (Icw, Ui, f, torque) provide designers with precise selection criteria, reducing overdesign and ensuring reliable protection of downstream equipment. Application: system design and protection coordination in power distribution panels.

FAQs
The coil control circuit voltage is 400–415 V at 50 Hz or 480 V at 60 Hz, allowing compatibility with European and North American mains configurations.
Yes. It is designed for mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails, with optional securing screws (2 x M4) for solid installation.
AC-1 rated current is up to 45 A at 690 V (deratings apply with higher ambient temperatures). AC-3 ratings vary by voltage, up to 23.2 A at 220–240 V and as low as 10.5 A at 690 V.
Standards include IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, CAN/CSA, with CE, UKCA, CB, BV, DNV, and RINA declarations for global product compliance.
IP20 protection on terminals, ambient temperature range from -40 to +70 °C near the cont actor, and a 4P configuration with screw terminals support reliable operation in dusty or vibrating factory floors; use DIN-rail mounting and correct torque specs for secure connections.
