The AF38B-22-00RT-14 Block Contactor delivers 4P switching with a main circuit rated up to 690 V and AC-3 power control for motors up to 11 kW, enabling high-efficiency drive applications with minimal voltage drop. This translates to reduced energy consumption and longer motor life, a critical business impact for ongoing conveyor and pump systems in manufacturing environments. The AF technology provides a wide control voltage range of 250–500 V (AC) and DC operation, allowing you to tolerate voltage variations without nuisance trips and reduced downtime in unstable networks. Its built-in surge protection adds a compact, reliable safeguard for power circuits, which lowers repair costs and enhances panel reliability in harsh industrial conditions. The 4-pole, 2 NO / 2 NC configuration supports robust motor control with UL and CE compliance, while the Ring-Tongue terminals streamline wiring and reduce installation time. The compact 45 mm width and 77 mm depth enable dense DIN-rail panel layouts, freeing valuable space for additional protection and control modules. The product’s modular block design supports easy extension with auxiliary contact blocks, enabling scalable control architectures without full re-designs. Compatibility with TH35 DIN rails (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and 2 x M4 mounting screws simplify mounting, alignment, and service. With a coil voltage range of 250–500 V, engineers can standardize on a single control supply across multiple machines, reducing stocking costs and improving spare-part availability. The device’s rated insulation voltage of 600–690 V and 6 kV impulsive withstand enhance safety margins in high-energy applications, while the compact footprint supports quick retrofits in legacy panels. For rolling stock and other demanding automation contexts, the combination of compact footprint, robust protection, and wide compatibility drives measurable improvements in installation efficiency and system uptime.

FAQs
The AF38B-22-00RT-14 supports DIN rail mounting on TH35 profiles (TH35-15 and TH35-7.5). It can also be mounted by screws using 2 x M4 screws placed diagonally, though mounting hardware is not supplied. This provides flexible integration for compact control panels and retrofit projects.
For AC-3 operation, the contactor handles 11 kW at 400–690 V ranges, with rated currents up to 23.2 A at 220–240 V, 22 A at 380–400 V, and as low as 10.5 A at 690 V. For AC-1, the device accommodates up to 55 A at 690 V 60 °C (55 A at 690 V 70 °C), and 45 A at 1000 V 60 °C per pole, reflecting versatile motor control capabilities.
Yes, the AF38B AF technology includes built-in surge protection, delivering a compact protective solution that enhances reliability in networks with voltage spikes. This reduces component stress and downstream maintenance costs while improving overall system uptime.
This contactor complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA, and CE/UKCA for global panel applications. Additional declarations include UR certification, UL listing (UL E319322), and DoC attestations for relevant regions, ensuring broad regulatory acceptance and safety compliance.
Typical use cases include motor control in conveyor lines, pumps, and rolling stock applications where reliability and compactness are critical. ROI benefits come from reduced downtime due to wide control voltage tolerance, built-in surge protection, a smaller panel footprint, and scalable expansion with auxiliary blocks, all contributing to lower installation costs and longer service intervals.
