Overview

The ABB NFZB contactor relays (SKU: NFZB62E-23) are specifically engineered for railway rolling stock applications, meeting stringent international standards for safe operation in passenger and driver cabins, including those operating in tunnels or underground environments. These 4-pole relays are designed for switching auxiliary and control circuits. They enhance installation compactness with reduced dimensions and side-by-side mounting, saving up to 15% in width without spacing. The NFZB series operates reliably across an extreme temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C. Compliance is a core feature, meeting key rolling stock standards: IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60077-1/-2, and applicable parts of EN 50155. They also exhibit superior shock and vibration resistance, conforming to IEC 61373 Cat. 1, Class B. Fire and smoke behavior meets European standard EN 45545-2 for HL2 and HL3 hazard levels in group mounting. These contactor relays contribute to train energy efficiency, being lighter devices and consuming 68% less coil energy during operation. The electronic coil interface handles significant DC voltage fluctuations, supporting various Uc DC control voltages (e.g., 24-60V, 48-130V, 100-250V). It also accepts sinusoidal AC 50/60 Hz control supplies within its specified voltage range (Uc min. ... Uc max.). A wide selection of auxiliary contact blocks is available for front and side mounting. Available models include NFZ62EK-21 (24-60V Uc), NFZ62EK-22 (48-130V Uc), NFZ62EK-23 (100-250V Uc), and NFZ62EK-20 (12-20V Uc). Each unit weighs 0.360 kg per package.
