FAQs
The AF116-30-11B-31 supports main circuit connections Flexible 2 x 10 to 70 mm² or rigid copper cables 1 x 10 to 95 mm². Auxiliary circuit connections offer Flexible with Ferrule 1x 0.75 to 2.5 mm², Flexible with Ferrule 2x 0.75 to 2.5 mm², Flexible with Insulated Ferrule multiple variants, and Solid or Stranded options 1x or 2x 1 to 4 mm². This provides flexible wiring for diverse panel layouts and quick field wiring changes.
Coil control voltage ranges are 24–60 V AC (50/60 Hz) and 20–60 V DC. Coil consumption includes holding power of 5.5 V·A at 50 Hz and 60 Hz (2.5 W), and pull-in at max rated control voltage of 225 V·A. These figures enable stable operation with fluctuating supply voltages and help estimate energy use in control circuits.
Yes. It is a three-pole block contactor rated for main circuits up to 690 V and motor control up to 55 kW at 400 V (AC-3). With an IP20 coil and IP00 main terminals, it is well suited for general manufacturing, conveyors, pumps, and fans. Its AF technology supports voltage variances, improving reliability in mixed power networks.
The AF116-30-11B-31 carries CE Declaration of Conformity, UL/CSA certification, and UKCA marking. It also complies with RoHS and REACH requirements, and provides WEEE B2B classification. These certifications support global deployment, cross-border procurement, and compliance with regulatory requirements in many regions.
With built-in surge protection, a compact block design, and optional auxiliary contacts, it reduces external protection modules and wiring complexity. Mechanical durability is rated at about 5 million cycles, improving uptime. The combination of flexible wiring, wide coil voltage tolerance, and scalable accessories lowers maintenance time and parts inventory, delivering a favorable ROI in automated lines.
