Overview

The ABB NF80EK-13 is an 8-pole contactor relay designed for switching auxiliary and control circuits in industrial automation, HVAC, and motor control applications. This block-type relay features a permanently fixed 8-pole auxiliary contact block with mechanically linked contacts (compliant with IEC 60947-5-1 Annex L), ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments. The NF80EK-13 includes an electronic coil interface that accepts a wide control voltage range from 100V to 250V AC (50/60Hz) or 100V to 250V DC, eliminating the need for coil changes across global voltage standards. The relay incorporates push-in spring terminals for ultra-fast wiring—requiring only a single push for secure connections, which accelerates installation and reduces labor costs. The 8-pole configuration with front-mounted auxiliary contacts provides flexible configuration options for complex control schemes. The NF80EK-13 is designed for panel mounting on 35mm DIN rails, with compact dimensions of 77mm height, 70mm width, and 55mm depth, making it ideal for space-constrained control panels. Built-in surge suppression eliminates the need for external surge suppressors, protecting sensitive control circuits from voltage spikes. The relay's electronic coil interface ensures consistent performance across voltage fluctuations, while the mechanically linked auxiliary contacts provide fail-safe operation. Key applications include motor control centers, automation systems, lighting control, and industrial machinery where reliable auxiliary switching is critical. The product is manufactured in the US under ABB's Electrification division, ensuring compliance with international standards.
