Overview

The ABB AF16Z-40-00-20 is a 4-pole DC operated contactor designed for reliable control of power circuits up to 690 V AC and 440 V DC. Rated for 30 A AC-1 at 40°C, this contactor is primarily used for controlling non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, such as resistance furnaces. The AF..Z series features an electronic coil interface that accepts a wide control voltage range, from 12 V DC to 250 V DC, and 24 V AC/DC to 250 V AC/DC (50/60 Hz). This broad voltage compatibility allows a single coil to be used across different global control voltage standards without requiring a coil change. The AF16Z-40-00-20 supports direct control from PLC outputs with a rating of ≥ 24 V DC and 500 mA, while also offering reduced holding coil consumption. Built to withstand voltage fluctuations, these contactors comply with SEMI F47-0706 standards for control voltages between 24-250 V 50/60 Hz, and include integrated surge protection, eliminating the need for external surge suppressors. The block-type design incorporates 4 N.O. main poles. Front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks are available. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts meet Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, and N.C. mirror contacts comply with Annex F of IEC 60947-4-1. For the AF..Z-30-..-20 models, DC operation requires adherence to polarity on coil terminals (A1+ and A2-). SKU: AF16Z-40-00-20. Manufacturer: ABB - Electrification.
