Feature → Business Impact → Application: The block contactor design provides 3 main normally open NO contacts and 1 built-in auxiliary NC contact, enabling reliable start/stop control of 3‑phase motors with a single device. This translates to reduced panel wiring complexity and lower risk of miswiring during maintenance, making it ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing lines. Feature → Compatibility → Application: It supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks for front or side mounting and offers a wide range of accessories, allowing quick customization for control cabinets and OEM assemblies. This enables flexible installation in compact panels and simplifies future upgrades. Feature → Electrical Robustness → Application: Rated operational voltage up to 690 V and a 50/60 Hz control voltage range ensure compatibility with diverse mains environments, improving cross-site deployment and reducing spare-part variety. Feature → Performance → Application: The contactor provides 60 A Ie at 690 V (AC-1) and 40 A at higher voltages for AC-3, delivering solid motor starting and running performance with predictable thermal behavior. Feature → Protection and Duty → Application: With IP20 protection on terminals and a robust duty cycle (AC-3 up to 1200 cycles/hour, mechanical 3600 cycles/hour), it supports heavy-duty industrial applications and long service life in harsh environments. Feature → Installation and Maintenance → Application: 54 mm width, 90 mm depth, 108.3 mm height, and a weight around 0.667 kg offer a compact footprint and easy handling, while screw terminals and specified tightening torques simplify installation and maintenance in the field. Feature → Compliance and Documentation → Application: CE, UL/CSA, CCC certifications along with RoHS and REACH declarations provide regulatory assurance for global supply chains and end-market compliance, reducing certification time for new projects. Feature → Efficiency and Total Cost of Ownership → Application: Lower energy losses (3 W per pole at AC-1, 1.3 W per pole at AC-3) and fast operate times cut energy waste and downtime, delivering measurable ROI in continuous production environments.

FAQs
Yes. The 1SBL321074R8801 is designed as a 3-pole block contactor compatible with the AX32/AX40 family. It supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks and front or side mounting accessories, enabling flexible panel integration and scalable control configurations.
For AC-1 operation at 690 V, Ie is 60 A (at 40 °C). For AC-3 operation at 690 V, Ie is 25–40 A depending on voltage and ambient temperature, with 40 A specified at several common high-voltage configurations. These values support reliable motor starting and switching for 3-phase loads.
The device is ideal for 3-phase motors up to 690 V AC, including conveyors and pumps, where AC-3 duty is common. It also handles AC-1 loads such as resistive/heating elements and contactor-controlled circuits, making it versatile for general machine control in packaging, plastics, and material handling lines.
The contactor carries CE conformity, UL/CSA listings, and CCC declarations, along with RoHS and REACH declarations. These certifications ensure global regulatory compliance, safer electrical integration, and smoother acceptance in multinational projects and panel shops.
With 3 main NO contacts and 1 NC auxiliary, IP20 protection, screw terminals, and quantified operate times, the device supports predictable maintenance intervals and reduced downtime. Its compact footprint and high switching capacity contribute to lower installation and part costs over the product’s lifecycle.
