Feature → Business Impact → Application: AF116-30-22B-42 employs AF technology with built-in surge protection, enabling faster operation and reduced energy consumption in panels, which translates to lower running costs for high-uptime lines such as conveyors or pumps. Application: Ideal for IEC/UL motor control in manufacturing lines where compact, reliable control is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The device is a 3-pole, 690 V main circuit rated contactor with 160 A AC-1/AC-3 capabilities, allowing direct switching of motors up to 55 kW at 400 V (AC-3) and up to 75 hp at higher UL voltages. Application: Suitable for new installations or retrofit projects in packaging, material handling, and HVAC systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Block-contactor design supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks, enabling extended signaling and interlocks without board-level redesign. Application: Fast integration with standard DIN rail panels and existing control circuits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Modular accessories and standardized torque specs (Main 71 in-lb, Control 1 N·m) simplify maintenance, reduce commissioning time, and lower total cost of ownership. Application: Suitable for high-volume maintenance environments requiring predictable bolt loads and fast field servicing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wide operating temperature and altitude tolerance (-25 to 55 °C with thermal O/L, up to 3000 m) minimizes derating, enabling reliable operation in factories and remote facilities. Application: Especially beneficial for automotive, food & beverage, and process industries where environmental conditions vary. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Low coil consumption (2 W hold, 6–12 W per pole depending on state) reduces energy use in standby control circuits, contributing to energy efficiency programs. Application: Useful where continuous coil energization occurs in winding-intensive panels, such as pumping stations or large motor drives.

FAQs
Yes. This is a 3-pole block contactor designed to switch three-phase motors. Main circuit connections use flexible 2 x 10-70 mm² or rigid Cu-cable 1 x 10-95 mm², with coil terminals rated IP20. Auxiliary circuits support two NO and two NC contacts, enabling signaling and interlocking. Mounting uses standard hardware and the device supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks for expanded functionality without complex rewiring.
Main circuit rated voltage is 690 V, with 50/60 Hz operation. For AC-1, Ie is up to 160 A, and for AC-3, Ie is 65–116 A depending on voltage and temperature. P_e values for AC-3 range up to 75 kW (at 440 V) and 55 kW (at 400/415 V). The device also provides 8 kV impulse withstand and a maximum breaking capacity suitable for cos phi values around 0.45.
Yes. With 3P main contacts and 690 V rating, the AF116-30-22B-42 is well-suited for motor control tasks typical in HVAC, pumps, conveyors, and fans in manufacturing or process environments. The compact block design and auxiliary contact options support interlocks and signaling essential for HVAC control schemes and pump protection, while its 55–75 kW range covers a broad set of motor sizes.
The AF116-30-22B-42 carries CE, UKCA, and UL/cUL certificates, with RoHS II and REACH declarations. It is also supported by CMRT for conflict minerals reporting and WEEE B2B classification, ensuring compliance for European and North American deployments and sustainable end-of-life handling.
Maintenance is straightforward due to a robust mechanical design rated at 5 million cycles, with specified tightening torques for main, control, and auxiliary circuits. Energy savings arise from AF technology reducing switching energy and a coil consumption profile of 2 W holding and higher pull-in/holding values, which lowers standby power in continuously energized control circuits. The unit’s compact footprint also reduces panel space and bundling costs, contributing to faster commissioning and lower total cost of ownership.
