Overview

The ABB NF40E-11 is a 4-pole contactor relay engineered for reliable switching of auxiliary and control circuits in industrial automation systems. This model features an electronic coil interface that accepts a broad control voltage range from 24V to 500V AC (50/60 Hz) or 20V to 500V DC, enabling a single coil to cover global control voltages without replacement. This reduces inventory complexity and simplifies logistics for multinational operations. With a general use rating of 60A at 600V AC and a rated operational current of 70A at 40°C for AC-1 duty, the NF40E-11 delivers robust performance for demanding applications. The 4-pole configuration provides flexibility in circuit design, supporting efficient panel mounting with a compact block-type design measuring 77mm height, 70mm depth, and 35mm width. This makes it ideal for DIN rail mounting in control panels where space is at a premium. The NF40E-11 includes built-in surge protection, eliminating the need for external surge suppressors and saving panel space. It supports reduced energy consumption and provides distinct closing and opening operations for precise control. A wide range of accessories is available for customization, including add-on auxiliary contact blocks for front or side mounting, enhancing its versatility across applications. Applications include motor control, lighting systems, HVAC, and general automation control panels where dependable switching of auxiliary circuits is essential. The device meets EN/IEC 60715 standards for electrical safety and performance. Note that the NF..E-11 series is not intended for direct control by PLC outputs, and availability may vary by country; consult your ABB representative for details. SKU: NF40E-11.
