Part Number: 1SBL296005R2000
Quick Summary
ABB 1SBL296005R2000 Block Contactor is a 3-pole motor control device for switching 18.5 kW motors at 400 V AC. In real-world panels, voltage variation and unstable networks can cause unreliable starts and wasted energy; this coil range of 12–20 V DC helps maintain stable operation despite fluctuations. The device carries CE, UL/CSA, and UKCA markings, aligned with IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and EN 60947-1 standards for safe, interoperable performance. Its DIN rail compatibility and extendable auxiliary options deliver a scalable, compact solution that reduces panel footprint while improving reliability and maintenance predictability for industrial automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296005R2000 ABB: The AF38Z-30-00K-20 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with Push-in spring terminals, controlling motors up to 18.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 25 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 50 A (AC-1) or 50 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (12-20 V DC), managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

AF technology with a wide control voltage range (12–20 V DC) delivers reliable coil energization across fluctuating control voltages, reducing energy waste and false tripping in unstable networks. This directly improves motor start reliability and lowers panel energy consumption, especially in environments with supply variation. The 3-pole 690 V main circuit supports AC-3 and AC-1 ratings, enabling efficient motor protection and control for pumps, fans, and conveyors with predictable switching performance. Integrated surge protection provides rugged operation in harsh electrical environments, decreasing the need for additional external protection and simplifying panel design. The compact block design with push-in spring terminals enables fast wiring, easier maintenance, and a smaller enclosure footprint, while maintaining solid connection integrity. It is easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks for tailored control circuitry, improving system flexibility without disrupting existing installations. DIN-rail mounting options TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 and optional panel mounting via 2 x M4 screws simplify installation in new builds and retrofits. The product’s dimensions (45 mm width, 86 mm depth, 92.3 mm height) and light 0.36 kg weight help optimize space planning in crowded control panels. Compatibility with ABB EcoSolutions and CAD resources supports faster engineering and lifecycle management, reducing design-to-commission time. Long-term reliability is reinforced by a broad certification footprint including CE, UKCA, and UL/CSA compliance, helping reduce validation steps for international deployments.

FAQs
The contactor supports DIN-rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 rails and can be panel-mounted with two M4 screws. This dual mounting flexibility enables fast retrofits and clean enclosure layouts, while keeping the device compact with a 45 mm width and a depth of 86 mm for efficient control cabinet design.
For AC-3 at 690 V, Ie is 24 A (60 °C). DC-3 values vary by voltage and pole configuration (e.g., at 110 V with two or three poles in series, up to 50 A; at 220 V or 440–690 V DC configurations the current values adjust per the listed combinations). Always select the exact configuration from the data sheet for your motor and duty cycle.
Yes. It supports high switching and mechanical endurance, with a maximum mechanical switching frequency of 3600 cycles per hour and a maximum electrical switching frequency of up to 1200 cycles per hour for AC-3. The 12–20 VDC coil and wide voltage tolerance help ensure reliable starts with inertial loads, while surge protection and compact form factor simplify panel integration in packaging machinery.
The model features CE, UKCA, and UL/CSA certifications, along with various conformity declarations (CCC, DoC, etc.). This broad certification footprint facilitates global deployments, reduces redundant testing, and supports compliant integration into diverse automation environments.
AF technology provides a wide control voltage range (12–20 VDC) that tolerates supply variations, reducing nuisance tripping and energy waste. Coupled with integrated surge protection and a compact footprint, this lowers wiring and enclosure costs, simplifies procurement, and shortens commissioning. The ability to extend with auxiliary blocks also enables scalable control schemes, delivering long-term cost savings in lifecycle management.
