Part Number: 1SBL347261R1300
Quick Summary
ABB AF40B-40-00-13 Block Contactor precisely controls four-pole motors in industrial equipment. Fluctuating control voltages often cause unreliable starts and wasted energy in control panels. It carries CE and UKCA declarations, UL/CSA approvals, and CB certificates, supporting global compliance and safe operation. The AF40B uses ABB AF technology for a wide control voltage range and built-in surge protection, enabling compact, low-energy panels. This combination delivers reliable motor control with a compact footprint and easy integration into existing DIN-rail installations, reducing wiring complexity and maintenance costs.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL347261R1300 ABB: The AF40B-40-00-13 is a 4 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 18.5 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) and switching power circuits up to 70 A (AC-1) or 60 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (100-250 V 50/60 Hz and DC), managing large control voltage variations, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

FAQs
This block contactor is designed for DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 profiles, and can also be secured with 2x M4 or 2x M6 screws placed diagonally for panel installations. The DIN rail option simplifies retrofits in existing control cabinets and minimizes panel space usage.
The coil supports a wide range of control voltages: 100-250 V for AC and 50/60 Hz, plus DC operation within the same voltage band. This enables reliable operation despite voltage variations and reduces the risk of misoperation in volatile electrical networks.
AC-1 rating is up to 70 A at 690 V (40 °C) and lower at higher temperatures, suitable for general purpose switching. AC-3 ratings at 415–690 V allow switching of motor loads with starting torque requirements up to 40 A. The product also delivers up to 22 kW of motor power at higher voltages, ensuring suitable performance for modest to mid-sized industrial motors.
The device carries CE and UKCA declarations, UL/CSA certifications, and CB certification, aligning with international safety and performance standards and facilitating global market access for OEMs and integrators.
With built‑in surge protection, screw terminals, DIN-rail mounting, and compatibility with add-on auxiliary contact blocks, the AF40B-40-00-13 reduces wiring complexity, lowers energy usage, and simplifies future maintenance and expansion in automation projects.
