Overview

The ABB BEA65-4 insulated 3-pole connecting link (SKU: BEA65-4) is a factory-engineered accessory designed to establish a secure electrical and mechanical interface between ABB AF09 through AF65 series contactors and MS116, MS132, or MS165 manual motor starters. This component is essential for motor control and protection circuits where reliable system integration is required. The connecting link ensures proper alignment and stable connection between the contactor and manual motor starter, enabling consistent motor starting and overload/short-circuit protection. Its insulated design prevents accidental contact with live components, enhancing operational safety in industrial panels. For applications involving larger contactor sizes (AF40 through AF65) paired with MS165 manual motor starters, the BEA65-4 is compatible with BPR65-4 35 mm rail hooks, allowing direct mounting on 35 mm DIN rails. This compatibility simplifies installation, reduces wiring complexity, and supports compact panel layouts. The BEA65-4 is manufactured in Germany as part of ABB’s motor protection and control portfolio, ensuring compliance with industrial standards. It is ideal for use in machinery automation, industrial power distribution, and motor control centers where precise electrical connectivity and mechanical stability are critical. Refer to ABB technical documentation for installation guidelines and application-specific configurations.
