Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL297201R1400 ABB: The AF38-40-00-14 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 (250-500 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.

Four-pole AF38-40-00-14 design combines reliability and compactness, enabling a clean, space-efficient motor switching solution for 3-phase loads. This reduces panel wiring complexity and supports tighter cabinet layouts, accelerating assembly and service. The AF technology delivers a wide control voltage range of 250–500 V AC or DC, reducing panel energy consumption and minimizing nuisance trips caused by voltage fluctuations in fluctuating supply environments. Built-in surge protection enhances reliability and extends device life in demanding facilities, reducing maintenance costs and Downtime. DIN rail mounting TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 and screw-terminal connections simplify installation, enable quick field wiring, and support straightforward expansion with add-on auxiliary contact blocks. The compact footprint (45 mm wide) and IP20 main/coil protection enable safe integration in standard control cabinets, while wide operating temperature and altitude tolerance support deployments in harsh environments. Compliance to IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL/CSA standards reduces certification risk and accelerates approvals for global projects. Compatibility with a broad accessory ecosystem helps future-proof your investment with scalable motor control in packaging, material handling, and process automation.

FAQs
Verify the mounting option listed as TH35-15 or TH35-7.5, ensuring your panel uses the standard 35x15 or 35x7.5 mm DIN rails. Check the device width (45 mm) to confirm it fits alongside other components, and plan for compatible screw terminal access and clearance for safe wiring diagnostics.
AC-1 rating at 690 V is 55 A (70 °C derating reductions apply). AC-3 rating varies by voltage: at 415 V and 60 °C it is 21.2 A; at 440–690 V ranges, values scale accordingly per IEC 60947-4-1. This makes the contactor suitable for starting and switching moderate to high-power motors with defined short-time withstand capabilities.
Yes. The device supports DC operation within the control voltage range of 250–500 V. This enables reliable DC control for motor starters and protection circuits, aligning with applications that require direct current control signals or DC operation in variable network environments.
The product aligns with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 and multiple UL/CSA listings, plus CE marking. These certifications demonstrate compliance with international safety and performance standards, facilitating global procurement, reducing risk during audits, and supporting market approvals for industrial equipment deployments.
The built-in surge protection, AF technology, and wide control voltage tolerance reduce nuisance trips and external protection needs, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Its compact design and expandability with auxiliary blocks improve lifecycle management, allowing easier future upgrades without complete cabinet redesigns, yielding lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s operational life.
