FAQs
The 1SBL231501R8500 uses a standard TH35 DIN rail mounting option and ships with a 2 x M4 screw fixing requirement if mounting on a chassis. It fits 35 x 15 mm rails and should be secured with the specified torque to prevent vibrations. For wiring, use screw terminals with flexible or rigid copper conductors within the 1/2 x 1.5 to 16 mm² range for main circuits and 0.75 to 2.5 mm² for control circuits, ensuring proper wire stripping lengths as stated in the technical data.
For AC-1 operation at 690 V, the rated operational current is 45 A at 40 °C, 40 A at 60 °C, and 32 A at 70 °C. For AC-3 operation, ratings vary with voltage: at 415 V 60 °C it is 21.2 A, at 440 V 60 °C 20 A, at 500 V 60 °C 17.6 A, and at 690 V 60 °C 10.5 A. Power and switching frequency are aligned to IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standards.
Yes. With a 4P configuration, 2 NO and 2 NC contacts, and 690 V insulation, it is designed for AC-1 and AC-3 motor control applications typical in conveyors and pump systems. Its screw-terminal connections and DIN-rail mounting simplify integration in control panels, while the add-on auxiliary blocks support more complex control logic when needed.
The device carries CE declarations and UKCA declarations for cross-border compliance, along with UL/CSA documentation for North American markets. It also has CB and BV certificates and is referenced in DoC documents for CE, UKCA, and UL. This broad certification footprint helps meet regulatory requirements in diverse industrial environments.
The unit’s modular design supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling scalable control without replacing the base contactor. Screw terminals provide durable connections, reducing wiring faults and service calls. The compact DIN-rail footprint saves panel space, accelerating installation, while compliant certifications minimize risk during audits and asset upgrades, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
