The ABB AF38-40-00-11 (Part Number 1SBL297201R1100) is a high-performance 4-pole contactor designed for switching power circuits in industrial control panels, HVAC systems, OEM machinery and automation applications. As part of the advanced ABB AF contactor series, it incorporates ABB's innovative electronic coil technology, providing a wide control voltage range whilst ensuring reliable switching performance even in demanding industrial environments.
ABB AF contactors are engineered to withstand voltage dips and fluctuations without nuisance tripping. Their integrated electronic AC/DC coil reduces the number of coil variants required, simplifying inventory management whilst built-in surge suppression removes the need for additional suppression devices, resulting in a more compact and energy-efficient installation.
With an AC-3 operational current of 22 A, an AC-1 operational current of 55 A and a 24-60 V AC / 20-60 V DC electronic control coil, the AF38-40-00-11 is ideal for controlling three-phase motors, heating circuits, lighting and resistive loads. Its compact DIN rail or panel mounting design enables straightforward installation inside industrial electrical control cabinets.
Industrial contactors enable low-power control circuits to safely switch higher-power motors and electrical loads. The ABB AF38-40-00-11 combines advanced electronic coil technology with robust construction to deliver dependable switching performance, reduced energy consumption and reliable operation in installations where supply voltages may fluctuate.
Its wide electronic control voltage range makes it particularly suitable for OEMs, machine builders and panel manufacturers supplying equipment globally, reducing stock requirements whilst improving application flexibility.
