ABB GJL1213401R0005 Mini Contactor - UL/CE Certified
Part Number: GJL1213401R0005
Quick Summary
Mini Contactor BC6-31-00 is a compact 4-pole device used to control single- or three-phase loads up to 4 kW (AC-3) and 20 A (AC-1). This ABB solution helps panel builders shrink enclosures without compromising reliability, even in dense control panels. In environments with frequent motor starts or control signaling, coil hum and space constraints can erode performance; this device addresses both by providing a quiet, rail- or wall-mountable option with screw terminals for secure wiring. The unit carries CE, UL/CSA, and UKCA markings, and IP20 protection across main and control circuits, ensuring compliance across regional standards. By combining robust ratings with easy installation, it supports faster commissioning and lower total cost of ownership for OEMs, contractors, and service teams.

4-pole main contact configuration with 3 normally-open contacts and 1 normally-closed contact provides reliable switching for both single- and three-phase loads, while screw terminals support secure, vibration-resistant wiring. Business impact: reduces wiring errors and maintenance; Application: motor control up to 4 kW (AC-3) and 20 A (AC-1) in light industrial equipment. DC control coil rated 220–240 V keeps control circuits compact and consistent, with noiseless operation that minimizes panel noise and interference. Business impact: improves panel clarity and reliability; Application: control signaling for fans, pumps, and conveyors in commercial facilities. DIN rail mounting on TH35-15 or TH35-7.5 and optional wall mounting give flexible installation in tight spaces. Business impact: faster installation and easier retrofits; Application: panel builders upgrading legacy installations. Screw-terminal connections, IP20 protection, and rated insulation ensure safe, durable operation in everyday industrial environments. Business impact: lowers field service calls; Application: long service intervals in residential and light industrial settings. High mechanical durability (10,000,000 cycles) and low power loss (1 W per pole) translate to lower total cost of ownership over the life of the equipment. Business impact: reduced maintenance costs; Application: high-cycle applications like conveyors and material handling.

FAQs
Mount the device on a TH35 DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) in the control panel, ensuring the screw terminals are accessible. Use ferrule-compatible conductors and tighten control terminals to 0.8–1.1 N·m. The coil is 220–240 V DC, and main circuit terminals support flexible or rigid wires up to 4 mm², all with IP20 protection.
AC-3 ratings include up to 9 A at 230 V (55 °C) and 9 A at 400 V (55 °C) with 3 kW–4 kW of switching capability; AC-1 ratings reach up to 20 A at 220/240 V and 16 A at higher temperatures. The unit also achieves 6 A at 690 V in some configurations, with a rated main circuit of 690 V AC and a 220–240 V DC coil.
Yes. It is designed for motor control of single- and three-phase loads up to 4 kW (AC-3) and 20 A (AC-1), making it well-suited for conveyors, fans, and pumps in light industrial or commercial environments. Its 690 V main circuit rating and robust mechanical durability support frequent switching with reliable performance.
The BC6-31-00 family carries CE, UL/CSA, UKCA, CB, CCC and other compliance marks, along with IP20 protection. This broad certification footprint helps ensure regulatory conformity across regions and simplifies import and installation in multinational facilities.
With 10,000,000 mechanical cycles and a low 1 W power loss per pole, the unit delivers high durability and low running costs. Noiseless coil operation reduces panel noise, while screw terminals and DIN-rail mounting speed installation and service. These features collectively lower maintenance intervals and total cost of ownership in demanding control applications.
