Overview

The ABB AF16Z-30-10-30 is a 3-pole contactor designed for precise power circuit control in industrial applications. Rated for up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC, it is optimized for controlling 3-phase motors, non-inductive, or slightly inductive loads. This model features a 24 V DC electronic coil interface with built-in surge suppression, reducing holding coil consumption to just 1.7 W. This low energy draw minimizes panel energy consumption and allows direct control via PLC outputs of ≥ 250 mA at 24 V DC, eliminating the need for additional interface relays. Note: AF..Z..-30 contactors require correct polarity on coil terminals (A1+ and A2-). As part of the AF... series, the AF16Z-30-10-30 is a 1-stack, 3-pole contactor with a block-type design for flexible integration. It includes 3 main poles and 1 built-in auxiliary contact, with options for front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts comply with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L, and N.C. mirror contacts meet IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F. The contactor is rated for 16A in AC-3 motor applications and 25A in AC-1 general use, with a compact footprint of 45mm width, 82mm height, and 91mm depth. A wide range of accessories is available for customization. Manufactured by ABB Electrification, this contactor is ideal for applications requiring reliable switching of inductive and resistive loads, such as motor control, heating systems, and lighting circuits. Its compliance with international standards ensures compatibility with global industrial systems.
