The ABB AF38-22-00-12 (1SBL297501R1200) is a premium 4-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of industrial power circuits, resistance heating systems and other non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. Part of the advanced ABB AF contactor series, it incorporates ABB's innovative electronic coil technology with a 48-130 V AC/DC wide-range control coil, allowing one contactor to operate across multiple international control voltages without changing the coil.
The AF series simplifies panel design by reducing the number of coil variants required while providing outstanding immunity to voltage fluctuations. Integrated surge suppression protects the control circuit without requiring external suppressors, improving reliability and reducing installation time in demanding industrial environments.
With a 55 A AC-1 rating, 22 A AC-3 operational rating and a 2NO + 2NC main contact configuration, the AF38-22-00-12 is suitable for switching motors up to 11 kW at 400 V AC, resistance heating equipment and industrial power distribution systems. Its compact DIN rail or panel mounting design enables straightforward installation inside electrical control cabinets.
The ABB AF38-22-00-12 delivers dependable switching performance for industrial motors, resistance heating equipment and power circuits. Its advanced AF electronic coil technology ensures reliable operation across a broad control voltage range while reducing energy consumption and maintaining stable performance even on fluctuating electrical networks.
Its modular block design supports a comprehensive range of ABB auxiliary contact blocks and accessories, making it an excellent solution for machine builders, panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers seeking long-term reliability and flexible system expansion.
