Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AFC family uses a four-pole NO main contact block rated for up to 55 A (IEC AC-1), enabling compact, high-current control of motors and power circuits in compact panels. Benefit: Higher efficiency and reduced component count translate to smaller enclosures and lower installation costs in machine builds and material handling lines. Application: Suitable for conveyors, pumps, and machine tools where reliable AC-1 switching at 690 V is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Control circuit voltage is 230–240 V at 50 Hz or 240–260 V at 60 Hz, with coil consumption optimized for energy efficiency. Benefit: Lower coil power draw reduces heat and energy use in control cabinets. Application: Ideal for automated lines powered by standard 230/240 V control power.

FAQs
The 1SBL291201R8800 supports TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 DIN rails, with screw terminals for secure wiring. Installation is simplified by the 2 x M4 mounting screws option and compatible with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling straightforward upgrades in existing panels.
Main circuit contains 4 NO contacts rated for 690 V insulation. Rated operational current AC-1 is 55 A at 40 °C (lower at higher temperatures). Coil voltage is 230–240 V at 50 Hz or 240–260 V at 60 Hz, with a primary coil power consumption designed for efficiency.
Yes, the device supports AC-3 operation with specified Ie values, including 21.2 A at 415 V and 22 A at 380/400 V at 60 °C, among others. This makes it appropriate for motor control applications like fans, pumps, and small conveyors where inductive switching is common.
The contactor carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1 along with UL 60947-1 and UL 60947-4-1 certifications. It also bears CE and UKCA marks, IP20 protection for coil and main terminals, and supporting certificates such as BV, CB, CQC, and DoC declarations as listed in the datasheet.
With low coil power loss—2.3 W per pole for AC-1 and 0.42 W per pole for AC-3—plus robust mechanical life (up to 3600 cycles per hour), maintenance is reduced and downtime minimized. The modular AF platform also simplifies part stocking and servicing, improving total cost of ownership in automation cells.
