Overview

The ABB AF40-40-00-14 is a 4-pole contactor engineered for precise control of power circuits up to 690 V AC and 440 V DC. Designed for non-inductive or slightly inductive loads such as resistance furnaces, heating systems, and industrial process controls, this contactor delivers reliable performance in demanding applications. Its electronic coil interface accepts a wide control voltage range from 24 to 500 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 20 to 500 V DC, enabling global deployment with just four coil types. This eliminates the need for coil replacements when adapting to different power grids, reducing inventory complexity and operational costs. The AF40-40-00-14 features built-in surge protection, removing the requirement for external surge suppressors and simplifying installation while enhancing system reliability. Constructed with a block-type design, the contactor includes 4 Normally Open (N.O.) main poles and supports front and side-mounted add-on auxiliary contact blocks for expanded control functions. Auxiliary contacts are mechanically linked and compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L, while N.C. mirror contacts meet IEC 60947-4-1 Annex F standards. The control circuit operates on both AC and DC power, ensuring compatibility with diverse control systems. A comprehensive range of accessories is available to customize the contactor for specific application needs, including auxiliary contact blocks, timing relays, and mechanical interlocks. Ideal for industrial environments where voltage stability and operational consistency are critical, the AF40-40-00-14 from ABB - Electrification provides a robust, maintenance-friendly solution for power circuit control. Its compact block design and modular accessory support streamline integration into control panels, while the elimination of external surge protection components reduces system complexity and total cost of ownership.
