Overview

The ABB AF30Z-30-00-30 is a 3-pole block-type contactor designed for precise control of 3-phase motors and power circuits up to 690V AC and 220V DC. Featuring a 24V DC electronic coil with built-in surge suppression, this contactor delivers ultra-low holding power consumption of just 1.7W, ideal for energy-efficient panel designs. It supports direct PLC control with outputs ≥250mA at 24V DC, eliminating the need for additional interface relays and simplifying automation integration. Key specifications include a 45A general use rating at 600V AC, 50A rated operational current at 0–40°C (AC-1), and compliance with IEC 60947-5-1 (mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts) and IEC 60947-4-1 (N.C. mirror contacts). The AF30Z operates across a wide control voltage range of 24–250V AC/DC, handling large voltage variations and short dips per SEMI F47-0706 standards. Its compact 35mm DIN rail footprint (3.15" x 2.76" x 2.36") optimizes space in control panels. Applications include industrial motor control, HVAC systems, and non-inductive or slightly inductive loads where energy efficiency and fast response are critical. The AF30Z-30-00-30 is part of ABB’s AF series, known for durability and global compliance (IEC, UL/CSA). A full range of accessories—such as auxiliary contact blocks and mounting kits—enhances flexibility for custom configurations. Note: AF..Z..-30 contactors require correct polarity on coil terminals (A1+ and A2-).
