FAQs

The CA4-40NK is designed as a 4P auxiliary block for ABB NF/NFZ/NFC contactors, including NF22E, NFZ22E, NF31E, NFZ31E, NF40E, NFZ40E, NFC22E, NFC31E, NFC40E, and related variants. It mounts frontally and uses Push-In Spring terminals for fast, secure connections, reducing wiring time during panel assembly.
Rated auxiliary circuit voltage is 690 V with 50/60 Hz frequency. AC-15 currents are up to 2 A at several voltages, and DC-13 currents vary by voltage, up to 6 A at 24 V, with higher voltages lowering permissible current. Short-time withstand current (Icw) is 140 A for 0.1 s and 100 A for 1 s, ensuring reliable signaling under transient conditions.
The block conforms to IEC/EN 60947-5-1, UL 60947-5-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 60947-5-1-14. It carries RoHS II declarations, REACH compliance, and is designed for IP20 protection. This combination supports global deployment, audits, and regulatory adherence in industrial environments.
Auxiliary circuit wiring supports flexible leads with ferrules 0.5 to 2.5 mm² and rigid solid conductors from 0.5 to 2.5 mm². Ferrule-compatible and standard flexible wiring options streamline field connections, and the recommended stripping length is 10 mm, aiding consistent terminations across installations.
Push-In Spring terminals reduce crimping and torque steps, enabling faster terminations with fewer welding or loosening issues over time. The 4P NO configuration simplifies signaling for multi-channel monitoring, while the front-mounted design and compliance with international standards improve install efficiency, reduce rework, and enhance long-term control reliability in automated panels.
