FAQs
Is this ABB block contactor suitable for DIN rail mounting and screw-terminal wiring? Yes. It supports TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 DIN rails, with screw terminals for both main and control circuit connections. This enables quick, secure mounting and straightforward field wiring with standard ferrule or solid conductors.
Key ratings include AC-1: 45 A at 690 V (40 °C), 40 A at 690 V (60 °C), 32 A at 690 V (70 °C). AC-3: 23.2 A at 230/240 V (60 °C), 21.2 A at 415 V (60 °C), 20 A at 440 V (60 °C), and 10.5 A at 690 V (60 °C). These values guide motor and load sizing in electrical controls.
Best suited for motor control, conveyors, pumps, and general power switching in industrial automation. Its 4P design with 2 NO + 2 NC contacts supports multi-pole control schemes, while the 24 V coil integrates with standard control systems. It’s ideal where compact footprint and reliable AC-1/AC-3 operation are required.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, and supports CE, UKCA, CB, BV, DNV, and other conformity markings. This ensures global regulatory compliance, safer installation, and easier cross-border procurement for multinational facilities.
Long-term reliability comes from a robust 4P block design, screw terminals for solid connections, and low coil power loss (8 VA hold, 70/66 VA pull-in). Compatibility with add-on auxiliary contact blocks simplifies future expansion, reducing planned maintenance and enabling scalable, low-downtime control architectures.
