Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296201R2100 ABB: The AF38Z-40-00-21 is a 4 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 11 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) and switching power circuits up to 55 A (AC-1) or 55 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (24-60 V 50/60 Hz and 20-60 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.

FAQs
Yes. The 1SBL296201R2100 uses TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail mounting, which is the standard compatible for ABB AF contactors. This enables quick snap-in installation in common control cabinets with minimal additional hardware.
The coil operates from 24 to 60 V in AC or DC, with AF technology designed to tolerate large control voltage variations. This reduces nuisance tripping in networks with unstable voltage, improving overall reliability and reducing re-work in panel wiring.
Main circuit rated up to 690 V with AC-3 power handling of up to 11 kW (at 400 V). Rated operational currents vary by voltage and temperature (e.g., 55 A AC-1 at 690 V and 21.2 A AC-3 at 415 V). These specs suit mid-range motor loads and general purpose control tasks.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, and CSA C22.2. Additional certificates cover UL/CSA general use ratings and regional approvals, supporting global deployment and compliance.
Connections use screw terminals for both main and control circuits, with clear torque specifications (2.5 N·m main, 1.2 N·m control). The unit offers easy accessory expansion with auxiliary blocks and complies with RoHS/REACH requirements, supporting lower lifecycle costs and simpler maintenance planning.
