ABB BC6-40-00-P-01 Mini Contactor - 24 VDC - UL/CE
Part Number: GJL1213209R0001
Quick Summary
BC6-40-00-P-01 Mini Contactor is a compact 4-pole switch for 24 V DC control in industrial systems. Engineers often struggle with limited space and reliability in control gear for modern machines. CE and UL/CSA approvals accompany IP20 protection, while IEC 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance support global deployments. This mini contactor also benefits from DIN-rail mounting options and soldering-pin terminals, reducing wiring time. In practice, it translates to faster commissioning, lower failure modes, and safer, scalable motor control. The coil consumes 3.5 W hold and 3.5 W pull-in, delivering energy efficiency across a wide ambient range. It handles single- or three-phase loads up to 4 kW (AC-3) and 12 A (AC-1) across 230/400/690 V classes.

FAQs
The BC6-40-00-P-01 is designed for DIN rail mounting, compatible with TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 rails. This enables fast, secure installation inside control cabinets and panel boards, reducing wiring complexity and improving accessibility for maintenance. The rail-based fit also supports modular layouts in multi-contactor assemblies for scalable machine control.
Yes. For AC-3 operation, it provides up to 3.5 A at 690 V and up to 6 A at lower voltages with corresponding power ratings (2.2 kW at 230 V, 4 kW at 400 and 500 V). The device is designed for single- and three-phase loads with appropriate derating, making it suitable for motor control in industrial settings.
The coil is 24 V DC and consumes about 3.5 W on both pull-in and holding states. This makes it energy-efficient for continuous operation in automated systems, while maintaining reliable actuation and fast response during control cycles in demanding industrial environments.
It carries CE and UL/CSA approvals and IP20 protection for control terminals and main contacts. Compliance with IEC/EN 60947-1, 60947-4-1, and related standards supports global deployment in hazardous and commercial environments, while RoHS and WEEE align with modern compliance expectations.
The device offers high durability with up to 10,000,000 mechanical cycles and a rated short-time withstand current of 64 A. This translates to reduced downtime and longer intervals between maintenance, particularly in continuous or high-cycle automation lines, making it cost-effective for panel builders and end users.
