ABB BC7-40-00 Mini Contactor - UL/CE Certified
Part Number: GJL1313201R0005
Quick Summary
ABB BC7-40-00 Mini Contactor is a compact four-pole switch designed to control single- and three-phase loads with a 220–240 V DC coil. In space-constrained panels, reliability and quiet operation matter; this mini contactor delivers hum-free coil actuation and straightforward DIN-rail or rail mounting. It carries CE, UL, and CB certifications, with RoHS and WEEE compliance to support global deployments. For engineers and procurement teams, the combined 690 V AC main circuit rating, 5.5 kW (AC-3) potential, and screw-terminal wiring translate to faster, safer installations, easier maintenance, and reduced panel footprint. This makes it well-suited for electrical protection and circuit control in commercial and industrial applications.

FAQs
The BC7-40-00 uses a 220–240 V DC control coil to operate four normally open contacts (4 NO). The main circuit is rated up to 690 V AC with varying AC-1 and AC-3 current ratings depending on voltage and ambient temperature, for example 20 A at 230/240 V AC-1 up to 16 A at higher temperatures, and 12 A AC-3 at 230/400/500 V depending on conditions.
Yes, the BC7-40-00 is designed for DIN-rail mounting, compatible with TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 standards. It uses screw terminals for both main and control circuits, enabling straightforward wiring and secure connections in crowded control panels.
The device carries CE and UL certifications, with CB, UKCA, EAC, and other declarations listed in the official documentation. RoHS and WEEE compliance are also provided. When sourcing for global installations, verify the specific certificate coverage for your region and the required declarations for your end markets.
Yes, the BC7-40-00 supports AC-3 loads. It can switch three-phase motors up to about 5.5 kW at typical voltages (230–400 V AC variants) and provides rated operating currents of 12 A at higher voltages and 6 A at 690 V for NO configurations. This makes it suitable for starter or control circuits in small to mid-size motors.
Installers benefit from screw-terminal wiring for secure connections, DIN-rail mounting for fast, repeatable assemblies, and IP20 protection to guard terminals. Regular maintenance tasks include checking terminal torque (0.8–1.1 N·m) and ensuring clean contacts. The long mechanical life, 10 million cycles, reduces replacement intervals and unplanned downtime, improving total cost of ownership.
