Overview

The ABB AFS40-30-22-11 (SKU: AFS40-30-22-11) is a 3-pole contactor engineered for critical machine safety applications in industrial environments. Part of ABB’s AF Series, this contactor delivers reliable performance with a robust control circuit featuring an electronic coil interface. The coil operates across a wide voltage range: 24–60V AC, 20–60V DC, and 100–250V AC/DC, ensuring compatibility with diverse control systems and reducing panel energy consumption. This versatility simplifies integration into existing installations without requiring additional voltage conversion components. The front-mounted auxiliary contact block is permanently fixed and includes a protective cover to prevent accidental manual operation. The distinctive yellow housing allows for quick identification in control panels, a critical feature for safety-related equipment. The auxiliary contacts offer a minimum switching capacity of 12V/3mA with a failure rate of 10⁻⁷ per IEC 60947-5-4, ensuring reliable signaling even under low-load conditions. Built-in surge suppression eliminates the need for external components, simplifying installation and protecting the control circuit from voltage spikes. The AFS40-30-22-11 is rated for general use at 70A (AC-1) and for 3-phase motor applications at 18.5kW (400V), 25hp (480V), or 30hp (600V) (AC-3/AC3-e). For control via transistor outputs of safety PLCs or safety relays, an interface relay RA4 (1SBN060100R1000) may be required in specific configurations.
