Overview

The ABB NFZ71E-21 contactor relay, manufactured by ABB Electrification, is engineered for reliable switching of auxiliary and control circuits in industrial applications. This 8-pole relay features a non-removable, front-mounted auxiliary contact block with mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts, compliant with Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1 and clearly marked with the "Mechanically Linked" symbol. A significant advantage of the NFZ series is its advanced electronic coil interface, which accepts a broad spectrum of control voltages. With just four distinct coil types, users can cover control voltages ranging from 24 to 250 V AC/DC (50/60 Hz) or 12 to 250 V DC, streamlining inventory management and facilitating global deployment. These relays are built to manage substantial control voltage variations and can be directly controlled by PLC outputs of ≥ 24 V DC and 500 mA, while also achieving reduced holding coil consumption. Furthermore, NFZ contactor relays incorporate built-in surge protection, eliminating the need for external surge suppressors, and are compliant with SEMI F47-0706 standards for short voltage dips and sags within the 24-250 V range. The control circuit offers flexibility with AC or DC operation. A comprehensive range of accessories is available to enhance functionality. Specific models within the NFZ series, such as AF305-40-11-12, AF370-40-11-12, and AF205-40-11-12, operate within a rated control circuit voltage of 48 to 130 V. Other variants like AF305-40-11-11, AF205-40-11-11 support 20 to 60 V (24 to 60 V DC), while AF305-40-11-14, AF370-40-11-14, AF205-40-11-14 are rated for 250 to 500 V. Models AF305-40-11-13, AF370-40-11-13, and AF205-40-11-13 cover the 100 to 250 V range. Manufactured in the US.
