The ABB 1SBL156001R2101, also known as the AF12Z-30-01-21, is a compact and highly reliable 3-pole contactor designed for switching three-phase motors and power circuits in industrial and commercial applications. As part of the advanced ABB AF contactor series, it incorporates ABB's innovative electronic coil technology, allowing a single contactor to operate across a wide range of AC and DC control voltages while reducing panel complexity and inventory requirements.
Designed for machine builders, panel manufacturers and industrial automation engineers, the AF12Z contactor delivers dependable switching performance even during voltage fluctuations and short power interruptions. Integrated surge suppression eliminates the need for external suppressors, helping reduce installation time while improving long-term reliability.
With a 12 A AC-3 rating, 5.5 kW motor rating at 400 V AC, and a 24 to 60 V AC 50/60 Hz or 20 to 60 V DC electronic control coil, the ABB 1SBL156001R2101 is ideal for motor starters, conveyors, pumps, compressors, HVAC equipment and industrial automation systems. This version features 3 normally open main contacts and 1 built-in normally closed auxiliary contact.
The ABB AF contactor range is engineered for dependable switching of motors and power circuits in demanding industrial environments. Electronic coil technology provides reliable performance across a broad control voltage range, reducing energy consumption while ensuring stable operation even in networks affected by voltage fluctuations.
With integrated surge suppression, high electrical endurance and compatibility with modern PLC control systems, the AF12Z-30-01-21 is an ideal solution for OEM machinery, industrial control panels and motor control centres.
