Application: ideal for dense control panels and retrofit projects where space is at a premium. Feature: Coil performance and current ratings (Coil: 24 V; I_e AC-1 up to 55 A; AC-3 up to 23.2 A at 220–240 V). Business Impact: predictable energization and safe switching with clear thermal headroom; supports efficient coil sizing and energy use. Application: broad motor-control tasks, fans, and pumps in light-to-medium duty cycles. Feature: DIN rail mounting options TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 and robust terminal connections (Screw Terminals, 12 mm main, 10 mm control wire stripping). Business Impact: quick, secure installations with reliable field wiring in factory settings. Application: preferred for modular automation cabinets and standardized control architectures. Feature: Compliance and protection (IP20, 3000 m max altitude, CE/UL/CSA/UKCA, multiple certificates). Business Impact: reduces regulatory risk and accelerates time-to-value for international projects. Application: suitable for global machines, packaging lines, and process equipment requiring formal approvals. Feature: Expandability with add-on accessories and block contactor family compatibility.

FAQs
Mount the device on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rails and use 2x M4 screws for secure attachment. Main circuit connections accept rigid or flexible conductors up to 16 mm², while control circuit accepts 0.75–2.5 mm². Wire-stripping lengths are 12 mm for the main circuit and 10 mm for the control circuit. Tightening torques are 2.5 N·m for main terminals and 1.2 N·m for control terminals. Ensure IP20 protection and keep the device within the 3000 m altitude limit.
AC-1 rated current at 690 V is 55 A (40 °C), 45 A (60 °C), and 37 A (70 °C). AC-3 ratings vary by voltage and temperature, with examples such as 21.2 A at 415 V, 20 A at 440 V, 17.6 A at 500 V, 10.5 A at 690 V, 22 A at 380/400 V, and 23.2 A at 220–240 V. Rated apparent power and short-time withstand values align with IEC/UL standards for safe, predictable motor switching.
Yes. The contactor complies with UL 60947-1 and UL 60947-4-1, plus IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, CE declarations of conformity, and UKCA where applicable. Additional compatibility includes CB and BV/RINA certificates, RoHS and REACH declarations, and WEEE classification for B2B use. This broad certification footprint supports global deployments in regulated industries and cross-border equipment sales.
ABB offers add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a broad range of accessories compatible with the AF platform. The 4-pole block design supports modular expansion with NO/NC auxiliary contacts to enhance feedback and interlocking. The device can be combined with standard contactor relays, installation contactors, and compatible MINI/MINI contactor accessories, enabling scalable control schemes for complex automation layouts.
Coil performance includes a 24 V control coil with 50/60 Hz operation and coil consumption: 8 VA holding, 70 VA pull-in (50 Hz), and 66 VA pull-in (60 Hz). Mechanical switching frequency reaches up to 3600 cycles per hour, while electrical switching frequency (AC-1) is up to 600 cycles per hour. Regular inspection of connections, periodic torque checks, and clean contact surfaces help maximize lifecycle and reduce downtime.
