FAQs
Installation on a standard TH35 DIN rail is straightforward: snap the base onto the rail, align the terminal connections, and secure using the provided screws. The device supports TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 profiles, enabling quick integration into existing enclosures. Ensure proper spacing, follow clearance guidelines, and use appropriate wire sizes for Ring-Tongue terminals to maintain reliable connections and thermal performance.
Coil voltage is 100–250 V for AC, 50/60 Hz, and DC operation is supported. Main contacts are 4P with 2 NO and 2 NC, rated for up to 55 A at 690 V (AC-3), enabling motors up to 11 kW. These ratings make it suitable for robust motor control in higher-power applications while maintaining safe switching and short-circuit protection.
Yes. The contactor carries UL 60947-4-1 listings and CE/UKCA conformity marks, reflecting compliance with global electrical-safety and performance standards. This reduces procurement risk in multinational projects and simplifies documentation for compliance audits, allowing faster acceptance in diverse markets.
Absolutely. The AF contactors are designed for easy extension with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling interlocking, feedback, and custom control logic. This scalable approach supports multi-axis drives and safety interlocks without replacing the base device, helping maintain consolidated stocking and simplified maintenance.
Built-in surge protection, robust Ring-Tongue terminations, and AF technology improve coil stability amid voltage variations, reducing nuisance trips and coil wear. The modular design and DIN-rail mounting simplify replacements and upgrades, lowering service time and spare-part costs, while delivering longer mean time between failures (MTBF) and enhanced overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
