Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AFC38-30-00K-86 utilizes a 3-pole block contactor design with Push-in terminals, reducing wiring time and panel footprint while improving reliability in high-density control panels. This enables faster commissioning for AC control applications up to 18.5 kW at 400 V AC (AC-3), translating to lower project costs and improved uptime in conveyor, pumping, and fan systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Coil voltage compatibility supports 50 Hz 400–415 V and 60 Hz 415–440 V, ensuring seamless operation across regional mains without extra hardware or adapters, which minimizes spare-part inventory and startup risk. Feature → Business Impact → Application: DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails provides quick, secure installation in standard panels, simplifying retrofits in legacy machines and new builds alike. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low coil power and measured power loss per pole (2.44 W AC-1, 1.41 W AC-3) yield reduced heat, lower cooling requirements, and longer service life in densely packed control cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Robust IP20 protection and Push-in/compatible terminal types streamline field wiring while maintaining reliability in industrial environments, supporting quick maintenance and fewer diagnostic calls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Broad standards and certifications (IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL/CSA) provide compliance confidence for global deployments, easing procurement, cross-border sourcing, and quality assurance for motor control, batch processing, and packaging lines.

FAQs
This 3-pole contactor supports DIN-rail mounting on TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 standards, enabling quick installation in control panels. It can also be screwed to a chassis using two M4 screws diagonally. The DIN rail compatibility makes it ideal for modular, replaceable drive systems and compact layouts.
For AC-1, the rated operational current is 50 A at 690 V (60 °C) and 42 A at 690 V (60 °C). For AC-3, ratings vary by voltage: 38 A at 415–440 V, 24 A at 690 V, and 40 A at 220–240 V. The device supports AC-3 power up to 18.5 kW at 415 V, enabling effective motor starting and control in typical industrial loads.
Yes. It carries UL 60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1 approvals, and a UL certificate is listed for AFC03–AFC38 series. This makes it suitable for global installations, including North American panels, meeting safety and performance expectations for motor control contactors.
Key standards include IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-4-1. Additional declarations cover CE/UKCA, BV, CB, CCC, and DNV visibility, providing broad regulatory alignment for European, UK, and international projects.
Coil consumption is modest: 8 VA holding (50/60 Hz) with 70 VA pull-in (50 Hz) and 66 VA (60 Hz). With power loss around 2.44 W per pole (AC-1) and 1.41 W (AC-3), the device minimizes heat and cooling needs, reducing energy costs and downtime while extending service intervals in high-cycle applications.
