FAQs
Mount the AF38Z on a TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and use the recommended 2 x M4 screws if mounting by screws is chosen. Main circuit terminals accept flexible or rigid conductors from 1/2x 1.5 mm² to 16 mm² and control circuit connections accept 0.75–2.5 mm². Use the IP20 rated terminals for safe, durable connections.
The contactor uses a DC coil operating range of 12–20 V. This wide range accommodates voltage variations without nuisance tripping, reducing energy waste in the control circuit and improving reliability in networks with fluctuating supply. Built-in surge protection further protects the coil from transients, extending coil life and minimizing maintenance.
For AC-3 at 690 V, the unit provides up to 10.5–11 kW depending on temperature (60 °C). For AC-1 at 690 V, it supports up to 55 A, with 40 °C conditions delivering 55 A and decreasing at higher temperatures. These ratings enable reliable motor starting and switching in typical 380–690 V industrial networks.
The AF38Z contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA variants, and related UL/CSA approvals. It also carries RoHS/REACH declarations and WEEE considerations, ensuring compliance for global product deployments across diverse markets and end-use environments.
AF technology reduces voltage sensitivity and energy loss in control circuits, lowering panel heat and energy consumption. Its modular design with add-on auxiliary blocks simplifies upgrades and maintenance, leading to faster commissioning, lower wiring complexity, and improved uptime—delivering measurable ROI through energy efficiency and reduced lifecycle costs.
