High-current capability and voltage ratings enable reliable motor control at up to 690 V in demanding environments, reducing downtime and extending equipment life. This 3-pole contactor delivers AC-3 power handling up to 18.5 kW at 400 V and 24–40 A nominal operational current depending on voltage and temperature, which translates to measurable energy efficiency gains and safer, more predictable switching. Coil voltage is designed for 50 Hz 400–415 V or 60 Hz 415–440 V operation, delivering quick response times with coil pull-in and release in the 9–26 ms range, minimizing torque ripple in driven loads. Mounting on DIN rails TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 simplifies cabinet integration, while screw terminals provide secure, serviceable connections for varying conductor sizes. The design supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a wide accessory ecosystem, enabling scalable control architectures and simplified maintenance. These features address common objections about expansion, compliance, and lifecycle costs in motor control applications, offering a proven path to robust automation installs. Applications span conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools, with compatibility for both standard and demanding industrial environments, and compliance with global standards ensures a smooth regulatory process.

FAQs
This block contactor supports DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 profiles, facilitating quick, secure installation inside control cabinets. For panel mounting, screws (2 x M4) can be used diagonally. The DIN-rail option accelerates integration in new builds or retrofits, while screw mounting provides a robust option when rail space is limited. Always follow torque specs to ensure reliable connections.
At 690 V, the Rated Operational Current (Ie) for AC-1 is 50 A at 60 °C and 42 A at 60 °C, with 37 A at 70 °C. For AC-3, the rated current ranges include 24 A at 690 V and 38 A at 415/440 V depending on voltage and temperature. Rated powers under AC-3 reach up to 22 kW at higher voltages, making it suitable for motor control in industrial drives.
Yes. The device adheres to IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and UL/CSA standards, with 690 V insulation voltage and 6 kV impulse withstand on the main and auxiliary circuits. It is CE, UL, and CSA compliant, and supports DNV/RINA certifications in related product families, ensuring regulatory acceptance across major markets and safer operation in electrical control panels.
The AFC contactor family offers add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a broad range of accessories to expand control circuit capabilities and status signaling. It is designed for easy integration with existing AF platform components, enabling streamlined retrofits and scalable architectures. This compatibility reduces spare parts variety while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across the system.
Use the screw terminals or ferrule-compatible connections specified for the main and auxiliary circuits, and adhere to the Tightening Torque values: 2.5 N·m for main circuit and 1.2 N·m for control circuit. Ensure correct wire stripping lengths (14 mm main, 10 mm control) and verify coil voltage matches the supply (400–415 V at 50 Hz or 415–440 V at 60 Hz). Proper DIN rail mounting and coil timing optimization further reduce nuisance trips and improve life cycle performance.
