The 1SBL321074R3601 features a compact block design that reduces panel depth while maintaining high switching capacity, delivering measurable space savings in control cabinets and MCCs. This translates to lower enclosure costs and easier cable routing in confined installations, supporting long‑term maintenance programs and faster commissioning. The 3‑pole main contacts and 1 NC auxiliary contact provide robust motor control for AC‑3 and AC‑1 applications, enabling reliable startup sequences and smoother live‑line switching in conveyors, pumps, and fans. Its rated control circuit voltage of 190 V at 50 Hz or 220 V at 60 Hz aligns with standard European and North American control systems, minimizing the need for voltage adapters and reducing wiring errors. Compatibility with add‑on auxiliary blocks offers front or side mounting flexibility, improving fault diagnostics and expandability. The device’s IP20 protection and screw terminal design simplify installation and field servicing, while low power loss per pole enhances overall system efficiency and reduces heat generation in confined spaces. With wide operating temperatures and a 65 A short‑time current rating, it remains reliable in rugged factory environments where uptime matters most. Industry‑leading certifications, RoHS compliance, and available CAD drawings streamline procurement, engineering validation, and maintenance planning, supporting a lower total cost of ownership. As a result, end users gain improved machine reliability, faster downtime recovery, and a scalable footprint for future motor control needs.

FAQs
For installation, plan a 3‑pole main circuit with a single NC auxiliary contact and space for add‑on auxiliary blocks if future expansion is expected. Use screw terminals with a torque of 2.3 N·m on main terminals and 1 N·m on auxiliary/control terminals. Ensure IP20 protection is maintained by proper enclosure sealing and clean wiring practices. The unit supports 190 V or 220 V control voltage depending on frequency, simplifying integration with existing controls.
At 690 V AC, the contactor provides a rated operational current Ie of 25 A for AC‑3 loads with a 55 °C ambient limit, and a rated pole power capacity of up to 22 kW (AC‑3). It also supports 60 A Ie in lower‑voltage configurations and up to 60 A for AC‑1 operations at 690 V. These ratings enable reliable motor starts for medium‑size fans, pumps, and small compressors, with margin for short‑time surge currents as defined in the datasheet.
Yes, the AX40 family supports add‑on auxiliary contact blocks for front or side mounting. This compatibility simplifies control logic expansion without changing the main wiring, enabling additional signaling or interlocks as systems scale. The benefit is reduced debugging time, easier customization for different motor startup schemes, and a cleaner, modular control cabinet design that accommodates evolving control strategies without major rewiring.
The AX32/AX40 range, including 1SBL321074R3601, carries CE conformity with EU declarations and RoHS compliance. It is listed with UL/CSA in applicable variants and has CCC documentation for the Chinese market. Documentation includes CCC Declaration of Conformity and UL Certificates for related AX models. This mix supports global procurement, regulatory alignment, and smoother cross‑border deployment in mixed compliance environments.
Maintenance benefits from a compact footprint, IP20 terminals for protection, and screw‑type terminals that simplify field servicing. With low power loss per pole (3 W AC‑1, 1.3 W AC‑3) and a 65 A Ith rating, cooling needs are modest, reducing energy waste and extending device life. The modular design with add‑on auxiliary blocks reduces spare parts variety, lowering inventory costs and improving MTTR during maintenance windows.
