Overview

The ABB AF16Z-40-00-30 is a 4-pole contactor designed for precise control of non-inductive or slightly inductive loads such as resistance furnaces, heating elements, and other resistive applications. Rated for power circuits up to 690V AC and 440V DC, this block-type contactor delivers reliable performance in industrial environments. Key specifications include a 30A rated operational current at ≤40°C (AC-1) and a 24V DC electronic coil interface with built-in surge suppression, reducing holding coil consumption to just 1.7W for energy-efficient operation. The coil is directly compatible with PLC outputs ≥250mA at 24V DC, eliminating the need for additional interface relays. Note that polarity must be respected on coil terminals (A1+ and A2-) for proper function. The AF16Z-40-00-30 features 4 normally open main poles with front and side-mounted auxiliary contact blocks for flexible configuration. Auxiliary contacts comply with IEC 60947-5-1 (Annex L) for mechanically-linked operation and IEC 60947-4-1 (Annex F) for NC mirror contacts. A wide range of accessories is available to extend functionality. Engineered for medium-duty applications, this contactor is suitable for industrial control panels with a compact 35mm DIN rail mounting design. Its robust construction ensures durability in demanding environments where reliable switching and low energy consumption are critical. The AF16Z series is part of ABB's AF..Z..-30 contactor family, optimized for direct PLC control and energy-efficient operation.
