Special Features | AF38Z..K 3-pole contactors are used for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC. They are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors, non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. AF..Z contactors include an electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage Uc min. ... Uc max. Only four coils cover control voltages between 24...250 V 50/60 Hz or 12...250 V DC. AF..Z contactors can manage large control voltage variations. One coil can be used for different control voltages used worldwide without any coil change. AF..Z contactors allow direct control by PLC-output ? 24 V DC 500 mA and obtain a reduced holding coil consumption. AF..Z contactors withstand short voltage dips and voltage sags (SEMI F47-0706 compliance) between 24...250 V 50/60 Hz. AF..Z contactors have built-in surge protection and do not require additional surge suppressors. AF38Z..K include Push-in Spring terminals. Only one push is all you need for extremely fast wiring: faster than ever installation, easier than ever wiring, reliable as ever connections.
