Overview

The ABB AF12-30-01K-12 is a 3-pole contactor designed for industrial motor control and power circuit switching up to 600V AC. Rated for 28A at 0–40°C (AC-1), it handles 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads efficiently. The electronic coil interface accepts a wide control voltage range of 24–500V AC (50/60Hz) or 20–500V DC, eliminating the need for coil changes across global voltage standards. Only four coils cover the entire voltage spectrum, simplifying inventory and reducing downtime. Built-in surge protection removes the requirement for external surge suppressors, enhancing system reliability and reducing component count. The AF12-30-01K-12 features push-in spring terminals for ultra-fast wiring—installation is completed with a single push, ensuring faster commissioning and easier maintenance. This contactor includes 3 main poles and 1 built-in auxiliary contact, with options for front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks. Auxiliary contacts are mechanically linked (IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L compliant) and include N.C. mirror contacts (IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F compliant) for enhanced safety and monitoring. The block-type design ensures compact integration, while a wide range of accessories expands functionality for custom applications. With a general use rating of 600V AC and a compact footprint, the AF12-30-01K-12 is suitable for motor starters, heating systems, and general-purpose switching in industrial environments.
