The AF40B-22-00-11 supports a wide control voltage range of 24-60 V at 50/60 Hz and 20-60 V DC, which translates into fewer trips and reduced energy waste in panels subject to fluctuating supply. This feature directly improves line uptime and lowers maintenance costs in continuous production lines, conveyors, and automated feeders. Built-in surge protection and a compact block design save space in control cabinets while enhancing reliability in harsh environments. With 4 poles and a 690 V rating, the contactor handles AC-1 and AC-3 applications up to 70 A and 40 A respectively, enabling efficient motor control for up to 18.5 kW at 400 V. DIN rail mounting (TH35-15) and screw mounting options provide installation flexibility in small or retrofit panels. The ability to extend with auxiliary contact blocks and a broad accessory range reduces total cost of ownership by simplifying upgrades and replacements. In practice, this means faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and a lower panel footprint for demanding automation projects.

FAQs
The AF40B-22-00-11 supports both DIN rail mounting (TH35-15) and screw mounting (2x M4 or 2x M6 screws placed diagonally). This provides installation flexibility in compact control panels or retrofit projects, enabling quick integration with existing cabinets.
For AC-1 the rated current is up to 70 A at 690 V (40 °C) and 60 A at 690 V (60 °C). For AC-3, ratings vary with voltage, for example 25–40 A across typical 380–690 V ranges. Rated power for AC-3 is up to 22 kW at several voltages, allowing efficient motor control in diverse drive configurations.
Yes. The AF40B-22-00-11 carries UL 60335-2-40 and CSA C22.2 conformance, with related listings for household and similar electrical appliances safety. It also aligns with CE and UKCA declarations, making it suitable for applications in North American and international markets where these certifications are required.
Its 4-pole configuration, 690 V main circuit rating, and 18.5 kW AC-3 capability make it ideal for motor control in manufacturing lines, conveyors, pumps, and rolling stock protection. The wide coil range and surge protection also suit equipment exposed to irregular power supplies and demand-based automation tasks.
The coil holds at 50/60 Hz with 4 V·A, and DC holding is 2 W, delivering low standby energy consumption. This reduces overall coil energy draw in large control panels and minimizes heat generation, contributing to lower operating costs and improved reliability in continuous operations.
