ABB AF65B-30-00-12 Block Contactor - AF tech
Part Number: 1SBL387061R1200
Quick Summary
AF65B-30-00-12 block contactor is a 3-pole device designed for motor control in industrial applications up to 30 kW. Engineers often struggle with voltage swings in control networks that trigger nuisance trips and energy waste. The AF65B family is built to IEC 60947-4-1 and UL 60335-2-40 standards, with CSA and CE/UKCA markings that support global compliance, including in rolling stock and factory environments. That combination of robust standards is complemented by a wide control voltage range and built-in surge protection, reducing panel energy use. Designed for easy installation and future expansion, it supports add-on auxiliary blocks and DIN-rail mounting to simplify scalable automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL387061R1200 ABB: The AF65B-30-00-12 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 30 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 50 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 105 A (AC-1) or 90 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a wide control voltage range (48-130 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
AF65B-30-00-12 uses DIN rail mounting with TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 profiles and is designed for screw-terminal connections. Main circuit terminals accept flexible Ferrule 1/2x 4–35 mm² or rigid 1/2x 6–35 mm², while control circuit terminals use flexible Ferrule 0.75–2.5 mm² or rigid 1/2x 1–2.5 mm². Tightening torques are 4 N·m (main) and 1.2 N·m (control).
At 690 V, AC-1 Ie is 105 A (40 °C), 90 A (60 °C), and 80 A (70 °C). For AC-3, Ie is 39–65 A depending on voltage and temperature (e.g., 65 A at 415–440 V, 60 °C; 55 A at 500 V; 39 A at 690 V). AC-3e and DC ratings follow similar voltage-based deratings.
Yes. The AF65B-30-00-12 is designed for 3-pole motor control with IEC/UL/CSA approvals and data supporting rolling stock applications. Its 690 V main circuit rating, 48–130 V control range, and high short-time withstand current (Icw) support reliable operation in demanding conveyor and rail-related drives.
The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, CSA C22.2, and CE/UKCA marking. It is RoHS and REACH compliant, with a UL/CSA listing for safety and performance in global deployments.
The 48–130 V coil range reduces the need for multiple voltage conversions, cutting wiring and power supply costs. Built-in surge protection lowers transient-related failures, reducing maintenance and unplanned downtime. The compact block design and compatibility with auxiliary blocks also shorten installation and future expansion timelines, improving total cost of ownership.
