Overview

The ABB AF16Z-30-01K-20 is a 3-pole contactor designed for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. Rated for 30 A general use at 600 V AC (0–40°C), this block-type contactor is optimized for 3-phase motors and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. The AF16Z..K series features an electronic coil interface with a single coil covering control voltages from 24 to 250 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 12 to 250 V DC, eliminating the need for coil changes across global voltage standards. It supports direct PLC control with 24 V DC outputs ≥500 mA and reduces holding coil consumption for energy efficiency. The AF16Z-30-01K-20 includes built-in surge protection compliant with SEMI F47-0706, ensuring reliable operation during short voltage dips and sags between 24–250 V AC. It features push-in spring terminals for ultra-fast wiring—requiring only a single push for secure, tool-free connections that outperform traditional screw terminals in speed and reliability. This contactor includes 3 main poles and 1 built-in auxiliary contact, with options for front or side-mounted add-on auxiliary blocks. Auxiliary contacts are mechanically linked (IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L) and include N.C. mirror contacts (IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F) for enhanced safety and monitoring. Designed for global compatibility, the AF16Z..K series minimizes inventory with four coils covering all common control voltages. Only AF..Z..-20 variants require polarity adherence on coil terminals (A1+ and A2-). The 1-stack block design simplifies installation and maintenance, while a comprehensive range of accessories expands functionality for diverse applications. Trusted in industrial automation, motor control, and power distribution, the AF16Z-30-01K-20 delivers durable, high-performance switching with reduced wiring time and operational costs.
