ABB 1SBL296501R2100 Block Contactor - IEC/EN 60947-4-1
Part Number: 1SBL296501R2100
Quick Summary
Block Contactor ABB 1SBL296501R2100 is a four-pole motor controller for industrial equipment. In networks with voltage fluctuations, wide control voltage range reduces nuisance trips and improves start reliability. This device carries IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1/4-1, and CSA/CAN certifications, along with CE declarations, supporting global compliance. The AF technology enables a broad control-circuit voltage window (24–60 V AC, 50/60 Hz, and 20–60 V DC), helping to manage large control-voltage variations and stabilize operation in unstable networks. With a compact 45 mm width, DIN-rail mounting of TH35-15 or TH35-7.5, and extendable auxiliary contact blocks, it minimizes panel footprint while enabling scalable configurations for motor protection and control. This combination translates to lower energy waste and faster time-to-start for critical loads.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296501R2100 ABB: The AF38Z-22-00-21 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
This 4-pole block contactor mounts on standard DIN rails, with TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 options supported. It’s designed for a compact footprint (45 mm width) and can be mounted using two M4 screws for secure, vibration-resistant installation in control cabinets.
Rated AC-3 current varies with voltage: at 690 V it is 10.5 A, and the rated operational power is up to 11 kW (at 400–500 V variants). The device is suitable for motor control applications requiring reliable switching of inductive loads up to these limits.
Yes. The device features IP20 protection for coil and main terminals, robust AF technology with a wide control voltage range (24–60 V AC, 50/60 Hz and 20–60 V DC), built-in surge protection, and UL/CSA/CE certifications, making it well-suited for conveyors, pumps, and similar automated conveyors in industrial settings.
The product complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 (LZGH2 A2L), UL 60947-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-40, CAN/CSA equivalents, and CE/UKCA declarations, ensuring global safety and interoperability in diverse markets.
AF technology broadens the control-voltage window, reducing panel energy consumption and stabilizing operation in networks with voltage fluctuations. The compact form factor and compatibility with add-on auxiliary blocks simplify maintenance, retrofit projects, and scalability, delivering lower lifecycle costs and faster time-to-value for motor-control schemes.
