Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL297001R1200 ABB: The AF38-30-00-12 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 18.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 25 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 50 A (AC-1) or 50 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (48-130 V 50/60 Hz and 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.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The AF technology delivers a wide control voltage range of 48-130 V (AC) / DC operation, enabling consistent coil operation despite network fluctuations and reducing panel energy waste in automated systems. This translates to improved uptime and lower cooling costs in motor control schemes; ideal for conveyors and pump drives in manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 3P main contacts rated up to 690 V and AC-3e current up to 24 A support high-efficiency motor control with reduced contact wear, promoting longer service life in packaging, material handling, and process automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in surge protection and compact block design enable easier space optimization inside control cabinets, improving serviceability and enabling denser panel configurations for OEMs and system integrators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Block contour and DIN rail mounting TH35 options provide quick installation and modular expandability, allowing add-on auxiliary contact blocks to scale I/O for machine builders and retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wide range of connection options (screw terminals, flexible/ferrule conductors 0.75–10 mm² main circuit, 0.75–2.5 mm² control circuit) reduces wiring complexity and supports both new builds and upgrades in industrial environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High insulation voltage (Ui 690 V) and impulse withstand (Uimp 6 kV) deliver robust insulation margins for heavy-duty applications like extruders and mixers, ensuring compliance and safety in harsh factory floors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Clear documentation including data sheets and CAD drawings accelerates procurement and installation, while compatibility with standard ETIM/UNSPSC classifications aids in cataloging and inventory control for procurement teams.

FAQs
The 1SBL297001R1200 uses standard TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 DIN rail mounting per IEC 60715. For quick installation, snap the unit onto the rail and secure with the included M4 mounting method if screws are used. The compact block design facilitates dense cabinet layouts and simplifies wiring when combining with add-on auxiliary blocks for expanded control.
Main circuit rated operational current AC-3 at 690 V is 24 A, with AC-3e ratings similarly specified for various voltages. AC-1 ratings at 690 V are up to 50 A at 40 °C decreasing with temperature. These ratings support motor switching and general use in industrial drives, while meeting IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and related UL/CSA standards.
Yes. The 1SBL297001R1200 carries UL/CSA listings and CE declarations of conformity, along with related UL 60335-2-40 and IEC/EN standards. This means compliant operation in North America and Europe, simplifies safety documentation, and supports regulatory market access for equipment that must meet household appliances and industrial safety requirements.
The contactor supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks and a wide range of accessories. The block-type design enables straightforward expansion of NO/NC contacts, aiding diagnostics, remote signaling, and integrated protection schemes. This is particularly beneficial for machines needing enhanced interlock, supervision, or custom control logic without replacing the core device.
Choose screw terminals or ferrule-compatible connections per main and control circuit guidance, ensure proper tightening torques (2.5 N·m main, 1.2 N·m control), and respect wire stripping lengths. The device’s 690 V insulation, 6 kV impulse withstand, and IP20 protection support reliable operation in typical factory environments, reducing downtime and maintenance intervals.
