Quick Summary
ABB 1SBL296261R2100 Block Contactor is a 4-pole motor control device used to start and stop machines in industrial automation. Operators face voltage swings and inconsistent control signals that cause nuisance trips and energy waste; this device's wide control-voltage range helps stabilize operation even in unstable networks. CE, UL/CSA approvals and RoHS compliance underpin its global applicability, while additional UL and CB/CCC listings support reliability in demanding environments. By combining compact packaging with DIN-rail mounting and flexible wiring options, this ABB contactor delivers lower installed cost and improved panel efficiency, while enabling scalable automation through add-on contact blocks and accessories.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296261R2100 ABB: The AF38ZB-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.
