FAQs
The AF40B-30-11-12 accepts a wide control voltage range of 48 to 130 V AC or DC, which covers most industrial control supplies. This reduces the need for separate voltage converters and simplifies panel design while ensuring reliable coil energization across voltage variations commonly found in mixed-voltage environments.
It provides rated operational current up to 70 A (AC-1) and 40–25 A (AC-3/AC-3e) across multiple voltages, enabling efficient switching of motor circuits. The built-in surge protection and robust mechanical design mitigate arcing and EMI, enhancing drive reliability in demanding equipment like conveyors and pumps.
Look for IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance, UL/CSA listings, and CE/UKCA declarations. These certifications indicate suitability for global markets and provide assurance for safety, interoperability, and regulatory acceptance in many regions.
Yes. The AF contactors are designed for easy extension with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling scalable control wiring and extended signaling without replacing the main device. This supports evolving control architectures and reduces total cost of ownership.
The product supports DIN rail mounting (TH35-15) or screw mounting, and uses screw terminals for main and auxiliary circuits. These features speed up installation, simplify maintenance, and improve reliability in compact control panels and motor control centers.
