AF technology provides a wide control voltage range of 48–130 V AC, 50/60 Hz and DC. This design stabilizes coil operation in variable networks, reducing nuisance tripping and panel energy consumption. Application: ideal for control circuits in pumps, conveyors, and general automation where supply stability varies. Built-in surge protection and compact block design protect circuits and save panel space. This reduces maintenance costs while improving reliability in motor control and general switching applications. Three main NO contacts plus one NO and one NC auxiliary contact provide both power switching and signaling. This arrangement simplifies wiring, interlocking, and remote status feedback for drive systems and automated lines. Block contactor design supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks for future expansion. This scalability translates to lower lifecycle costs and easier upgrades in evolving control schemes. Mounting options include DIN rail TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 or mechanical screws, with screw terminals for reliable connections. The device supports flexible conductor sizes for main, auxiliary, and control circuits. Electrical ratings cover Ui up to 690 V and Ie up to 45 A (AC-1) or 26 A (AC-3/e) depending on voltage. Power loss is minimized at 0.1 W per pole for the coil and 1.8 W per pole under AC-1 conditions, with 0.6 W for AC-3; operating temperatures span -25 to 60°C when fitted with a thermal overload relay and -40 to 70°C otherwise.
