Quick Summary
ABB AF26ZB-40-00-21 Block Contactor is a 4-pole motor control device for 690 V systems. It helps simplify panel design by handling large control voltage variations with a single, compact unit. This solution aligns with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, and UL 60335-2-40, with CE and UKCA declarations for global deployment. A wide coil voltage range reduces wiring complexity and energy waste, while the block design enables easy expansion with auxiliary contact blocks and a broad accessory ecosystem. For engineers and procurement teams, it offers reliable motor control, space-saving installation, and predictable lifecycle costs across diverse industrial environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL236261R2100 ABB: The AF26ZB-40-00-21 is a 4 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 11 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) and switching power circuits up to 45 A (AC-1) or 45 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (24-60 V 50/60 Hz and 20-60 V DC), managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

FAQs
The device uses screw terminals with flexible connections for main circuit conductors (Rigid Solid 1/2x 16 mm² to 4 mm² equivalent) and control circuit conductors (rigid or flexible ferrule 0.75 to 2.5 mm², up to 2.5 mm² for some configurations). Wire stripping is 12 mm for main and 10 mm for control, enabling clean, reliable terminations.
The coil accepts 24–60 V AC, 24–60 V Hz or 20–60 V DC, allowing the contactor to operate consistently despite voltage sags, surges, or supply fluctuations. This reduces false trips and panel rework, improving uptime in networks with varying power quality.
Yes. The contactor supports AC-3 operation at 690 V with rated currents up to 10.5 A at 60 °C (and higher currents at lower voltages). It also offers appropriate short-time withstand ratings and a 6 kV impulse withstand, making it suitable for typical motor control and starting applications.
It aligns with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 and UL 60947-1/4-1, CSA equivalents, along with CE and UKCA declarations. These certifications support global deployment, regulatory compliance, and safe operation in household and industrial environments.
Mount on DIN rails TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 for quick upgrades, use proper screw torque (Main circuit 2.5 N·m; Control circuit 1.2 N·m), and plan for auxiliary contact blocks to expand functionality. The IP20 rating and robust terminal design reduce exposure to dust and contact wear, boosting long-term reliability.
