Overview

The ABB Electrification NFZ40EK-22 is a 4-pole contactor relay engineered for precise switching of auxiliary and control circuits in industrial automation, HVAC, and machinery applications. This model features an electronic coil interface with a rated control circuit voltage range of 48-130V AC/DC, eliminating the need for coil replacement across global voltage standards. The NFZ40EK-22 supports direct control by PLC outputs (≥ 24 V DC, 500 mA) with reduced holding coil consumption, optimizing energy efficiency in control systems. Designed for global compatibility, the NFZ40EK-22 withstands short voltage dips and sags, complying with SEMI F47-0706 standards for control voltages between 24-250V 50/60 Hz. Integrated surge protection eliminates the need for external suppressors, reducing system complexity and installation time. The relay includes mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts compliant with Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, ensuring fail-safe operation in critical control circuits. Wiring is simplified with Push-in Spring terminals, enabling secure connections with a single push—faster than traditional screw terminals and reducing installation errors. The NFZ40EK-22 weighs 0.310 kg per unit and is manufactured in the US. A comprehensive range of accessories is available to extend functionality, including auxiliary contacts, mounting adapters, and surge protection modules. Ideal for panel builders, OEMs, and system integrators requiring reliable, high-density control solutions.
