Overview

The ABB AF16Z-40-00-23 is a 4-pole contactor designed for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC and 440 V DC. Primarily utilized for non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, such as resistance furnaces and heating elements, this contactor offers reliable operation. The AF..Z series features an electronic coil interface that accepts a broad control voltage range, from 24 to 250 V 50/60 Hz or 12 to 250 V DC. This universal coil design allows for a single coil to cover multiple control voltages globally, simplifying inventory and reducing the need for coil changes. The AF16Z-40-00-23 has a rated operational current of 30 A at ≤ 40 °C for AC-1 duty. It is compliant with SEMI F47-0706 standards, demonstrating its ability to withstand short voltage dips and sags between 24-250 V 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for applications with potentially unstable power supplies. Built-in surge protection eliminates the need for external surge suppressors. This 4-pole contactor supports direct control from PLC outputs with a rating of ≥ 24 V DC 500 mA, contributing to energy efficiency through reduced holding coil consumption. The block-type design includes 4 normally open (N.O.) main poles. Front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks are available. Mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts comply with Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, and N.C. mirror contacts comply with Annex F of IEC 60947-4-1. The AF16Z-40-00-23 is AC or DC operated and manufactured in the US by ABB - Electrification. SKU: AF16Z-40-00-23. UNSPSC Code: 39121529.
