FAQs
The 1SBL341201R8500 uses the TH35-15 DIN rail standard for mounting. Snap the unit onto the rail, ensuring full engagement, then secure with the included screws if required. Connect main circuit conductors to the screw terminals and tighten to 4 N·m for the main circuit and 1.2 N·m for the control circuit as per the terminal specifications. This approach minimizes panel space while ensuring reliable mechanical and electrical connection.
This contactor supports coil voltages of 380–400 V AC at 50 Hz and 400–415 V AC at 60 Hz. Selecting the correct coil voltage ensures proper pull-in and holding performance, reduces coil energy consumption, and aligns with regional power standards. It also simplifies procurement by covering the majority of European and North American control voltages.
Yes. For AC-1 duty at 690 V, the device provides up to 70 A at 40 °C (60 °C: 60 A; 70 °C: 50 A). For AC-3 duty, it handles up to 40 A at 415 V (60 °C) and related voltage variants. These ratings support motor control and general power switching while maintaining safe thermal performance in standard industrial environments.
The contactor carries CE and UKCA conformity, and UL/CSA safety approvals, with additional BV, CB, CCC, CQC, and other declarations across multiple regions. These certifications ensure compliance for European, British, North American, and global installations, covering safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and performance criteria critical for regulated industries.
Mounting is compatible with DIN rail TH35-15 and also supports screw mounting (2 x M4 or 2 x M6). It uses screw terminals for main circuits and flexible/ferrule-compatible terminals for 4/6 mm² ranges, enabling straightforward integration into diverse control panels and simplifying retrofits or expansions in automation lines.
