FAQs
This device supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails, enabling quick installation in compact control cabinets. For panel builders, the DIN-rail option reduces wiring length and improves vibration resistance in conveyors and packaging lines.
The main circuit is rated up to 690 V with AC-1 current up to 45 A and AC-3 current up to 23.2 A at 60 °C. Insulation voltage is 690 V, and the device supports rapid operation with defined pull-in times. These ratings ensure safe, reliable switching of medium-power loads in industrial applications.
With a maximum mechanical switching frequency of 3600 cycles per hour and AC-1 electrical switching up to 600 cycles per hour, it is suitable for frequent control tasks in automation panels, while relying on its rated short-time withstands to handle transient conditions without premature wear.
The 1SBL231501R8000 family carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, with CE/UKCA declarations. These approvals simplify regulatory qualification for global deployments in Europe and North America.
Auxiliary contact blocks and a full range of AF accessories can extend signaling and interlocking capabilities. The base 4P design accepts add-ons, enabling customized control schemes without a complete panel redesign.
