ABB 1SBL367001R1311 Block Contactor - 690V IEC/UL
Part Number: 1SBL367001R1311
Quick Summary
ABB AF52 Block Contactor enables reliable motor control in industrial automation applications. When control voltages vary in harsh electrical environments, the 100–250 V AC or DC coil range minimizes nuisance tripping and reduces panel energy waste. It meets IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40 and CSA standards, with CE compliance for broad market access. Designed for DIN rail mounting and easy accessory expansion, it supports pre-mounted auxiliary contacts and a built-in surge protector, delivering uptime, compact footprint, and simplified installation for machine builders and panel shops.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL367001R1311 ABB: The AF52-30-11-13 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with pre-mounted auxiliary contacts and screw terminals, controlling motors up to 22 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 40 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 100 A (AC-1) or 80 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
The AF52-30-11-13 is designed for DIN rail mounting (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5). Ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation and provide space for the pre-mounted auxiliary contacts. Use the recommended 2 x M4 or 2 x M6 screws for secure panel mounting and verify terminal torque values to prevent loose connections.
AC-1 rated current at 690 V is 100 A (60 °C) and 80 A (60 °C at 690 V). AC-3 rated current at 690 V varies by voltage and temperature, with up to 53 A at 690 V (60 °C). The device also supports motor power switching up to 22 kW at 400 V (AC-3) in the specified configuration.
Yes. The coil supports a wide control voltage range of 100–250 V for both AC and DC operation, allowing stable performance even with voltage variations in the supply network and reducing the need for separate control transformers in many applications.
It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA C22.2, CE, and UKCA, among others. The device carries multiple manufacturer and third-party certifications (UL/CSA listings, CB certificates, and safety declarations) suitable for global deployment.
The AF52 features built-in surge protection, low coil hold power, and AF technology that tolerates voltage swings, reducing energy waste and panel heating. Its modular design and add-on auxiliary blocks simplify expansion, lowering wiring complexity and maintenance costs while boosting uptime and overall return on investment.
