Product Information
Extended Description
1SFL427081R1212 ABB: The AFS116-30-12-12 is a 3 pole - 690 V IEC or 600 V UL contactor with pre-mounted 1 left (1 N.O + 1 N.C.) and fixed 1 right (1 N.C.) side mounted auxiliary contact blocks with double clamp connections, controlling motors up to 55 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) or 75 hp / 480 V UL and switching power circuits up to 160 A (AC-1) or 160 A UL general use. AFS contactors can be easily integrated in machine manufacturer’s systems complying with main standards EN ISO 13849 and EN 62061 - guaranteeing the safe use of your machinery and equipment. An easily identifiable yellow low energy auxiliary contact block ensures the status feedback circuits required in machine safety applications. 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
Installation is facilitated by the defined double clamp terminals and the compact 3-pole footprint. Ensure wiring follows the 2 x 10 ... 70 mm² main circuit and 2 x 0.75 ... 2.5 mm² auxiliary circuit ranges, torque requirements (7–9 N·m for main connections), and correct polarity for the control coil (48–130 V). The pre-mounted auxiliary block simplifies feedback wiring and aligns with standard control cabinet layouts.
The coil supports 48–130 V for both AC and DC operation, allowing stable operation across fluctuating supply conditions. This AF technology minimizes panel energy consumption and ensures distinct operation even when control voltage varies, improving reliability in unstable networks.
For AC-3 at 690 V, the contactor provides 65 A nominal Ie with a rated power up to 55 kW. This makes it suitable for controlling medium-sized motors on conveyors, pumps, and similar loads in automated lines.
The device carries CE, UL/CSA, and UKCA markings and aligns with EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 62061 safety standards. These certifications help with global market access, regulator audits, and safer, standards-compliant machine designs for diverse manufacturing environments.
Yes. The AF S116 design uses a block-type architecture that supports add-on auxiliary contact blocks. This enables scalable control circuits and enhanced feedback while maintaining a compact form factor, making it easy to upgrade safety circuits without changing the core starter.
