Overview

The ABB NF22EK-12 is a 4-pole contactor relay designed for reliable switching of auxiliary and control circuits. This unit, SKU NF22EK-12, is part of ABB's NF..K series, featuring an advanced electronic coil interface that accepts a broad control voltage range of 48-130 V AC/DC (50/60 Hz) or 48-130 V DC. This wide voltage tolerance simplifies inventory management and ensures global compatibility without the need for coil replacements, accommodating significant control voltage variations. The NF22EK-12 offers energy efficiency through distinct closing and opening coil characteristics. Integrated surge protection is built directly into the unit, eliminating the requirement for external surge suppressors and streamlining panel design. A key innovation of the NF..K series is the Push-in Spring terminals, enabling exceptionally fast and secure wiring. A single push action is sufficient for connection, drastically reducing installation time and complexity while maintaining robust, reliable connections. This 4-pole contactor relay is compliant with Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, featuring mechanically linked auxiliary contacts, clearly identified by the 'Mechanically Linked' symbol on the relay. The NF22EK-12 is designed for direct mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN/IEC 60715). A comprehensive selection of accessories is available to expand its functionality. Manufactured in the US by ABB - Electrification, this device has dimensions of 77mm (Height) x 45mm (Width) x 71mm (Depth) and a weight of 0.285 kg per piece. Its UNSPSC code is 39121529. Key specifications include: 4-pole configuration, control voltage range of 48-130V AC/DC, Push-in Spring terminals, and built-in surge protection.
