The 1SBL231501R8600 is a 4-pole block contactor with 2 normally open and 2 normally closed main contacts, enabling reliable motor and load switching under AC-1 and AC-3 duty with a rated main current up to 45 A at 690 V. This design reduces wiring complexity and cabinet space, improving installation efficiency and serviceability in conveyors, pumps, and fans across packaging lines. Coil voltage compatibility of 400–415 V AC at 50 Hz or 415–440 V AC at 60 Hz aligns with common plant networks, while coil consumption values (7 V·A pull-in at 50 Hz, 66 V·A at 60 Hz, 8 V·A holding) support energy-efficient operation and safer thermal profiles in control cabinets. The device features screw terminals and supports flexible wiring up to 16 mm², simplifying field termination and replacement. DIN rail mounting options TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 plus optional screw mounting enable rapid, tool-light installation with consistent alignment in panel shops. Built to IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and UL 60947-1, the block contactor meets global safety standards, reducing compliance risk for international projects. Its compact footprint (45 mm width, 101 mm depth, 86 mm height) and weight around 0.393 kg maximize panel density while preserving thermal performance. IP20 protection for main and coil terminals ensures dependable operation in typical manufacturing environments and withstanding routine handling during maintenance. Operating temperature ranges and mechanical life (3600 cycles per hour) support long service intervals and predictable lifecycle planning for industrial equipment and energy-management schemes. Together, these features deliver measurable efficiency gains, reduced total cost of ownership, and easier cross-compatibility with AF family accessories and auxiliary contact blocks.

FAQs
Yes. The 1SBL231501R8600 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 as standard, and can also be screwed to panels with 2 x M4 screws if preferred for alternative mounting.
Main circuit rating is up to 690 V with AC-1 current up to 45 A (40 °C) / 40 A (60 °C) / 32 A (70 °C). AC-3 ratings vary by voltage (e.g., 21.2 A at 415 V and 20 A at 440 V). Coil voltage is 400–415 V AC (50 Hz) or 415–440 V AC (60 Hz).
Refer to the Data Sheet: 1SBC100219C0201 AFC contactors for AC control applications, and installation instructions for AF(C), NF(C), CA4, CAL4, CAT4, CC4 accessories to ensure correct add-on block usage and safe wiring.
Yes. It carries UL/CSA compatibility for main and auxiliary circuits, and CE/UKCA declarations. Additional BV, CB, CQC, CCC certificates are listed, supporting compliance across multiple regions.
Plan for IP20 protection, a compact 45 mm width, 101 mm depth, and 86 mm height footprint, with a weight around 0.393 kg. Operate within -25 to 60 °C near OLR-equipped versions and up to -40 to 70 °C in other configurations, and allow for up to 3000 m altitude without derating.
