Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AX32/AX40 block contactor design provides three main NO contacts and one auxiliary NO contact, enabling reliable motor switching with a compact footprint, reducing enclosure size and wiring complexity in industrial panels. This improves installation efficiency and lowers panel costs in food & beverage lines, packaging machines, and material handling systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: AC-operated control circuit with rated control voltage of 50 Hz 105 V and 60 Hz 110–127 V ensures compatibility with standard control supplies, reducing integration risk and allowing easier retrofits in existing equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated operational current AC-3 at 690 V and multiple voltage configurations (e.g., 415 V, 440 V, 500 V, 690 V) enables high-performance motor switching for pumps, compressors, and fans with predictable thermal behavior. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Power loss specifications (2.5 W per pole for AC-1; 0.9 W per pole for AC-3) translate to lower heat generation and higher efficiency in continuous operation environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Heavy-duty insulation and protection (IP20 coil terminals, IEC 60947-4-1/5-1 compliance) deliver reliable operation in control cabinets and harsh manufacturing floors, minimizing maintenance and downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Add-on auxiliary contact blocks and front/side mounting options streamline customization, enabling future expansion without full panel redesigns in turnkey automation projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: CAD dimensional drawings and broad certification coverage (CE, UL/CSA, CCC/CQC) support fast approval, procurement, and integration into global supply chains for OEMs.

FAQs
Yes. The AX32/AX40 family is designed for block contactors with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and mounting options. This enables front or side mounting, flexible wiring layouts, and scalable upgrades without replacing the base unit, reducing installation time and panel rework.
For AC-3 operation at 690 V, Ie is 21 A; at 415–440 V it is 32 A; and at 380/400 V it remains 32 A. AC-1 ratings are 55 A at 220/240 V, with current and power dependent on voltage and temperature. These figures support reliable motor starting and switching in typical industrial loads.
Yes. The device is rated for main circuit 690 V and auxiliary circuit 690 V, with IEC 60947-4-1/5-1 compliance. It supports three-phase motor control, offers a compact footprint, and provides predictable thermal performance and mechanical durability for conveyors, pumps, and processing lines.
The block contactor carries CE conformity, UL/CSA General Use ratings, and CCC/CQC certifications. Additional declarations cover RoHS, REACH, and TSCA compliance, helping ensure suitability for global deployments and customer-specific regulatory requirements.
With 3 main contacts and 1 auxiliary contact, and a design focused on low power loss (2.5 W AC-1, 0.9 W AC-3 per pole), routine checks are mainly for contact wear and coil integrity. The durable build reduces downtime, and the availability of CAD files and accessories shortens mean time to repair, delivering measurable lifecycle cost savings.
