AF12(Z) contactors are used for controlling power circuits
up to 690 V AC and 220 V DC.
They are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors,
non-inductive or slightly inductive loads.
AF..(Z) contactors include an electronic coil interface providing reduced –
pull-in and holding consumption, particularly for AC control circuits
Only four coils are needed to cover control voltages between 24...500 V –
50/60 Hz or 20...500 V DC.
AF..(Z) offer extended operating limits and are suitable worldwide for
different control voltages.
e.g.: the coil 100...250 V 50/60 Hz - DC is suitable for Europe (230 V
50 Hz) and for North America (120 V 60 Hz and 208 V 60 Hz). AF..(Z)
contactors can manage large control voltage variations
AF..Z contactors equipped with a 24...60 V 50/60 Hz - 20...60 V DC coil –
allow direct control by 24 V DC 500 mA PLC-output
AF..Z contactors withstand short voltage dips and voltage sags (SEMI –
F47-0706 compliance)
AF..(Z) contactors have built-in surge protection and do not require –
additional surge suppressors
2-stack contactors are mounted with a non-removable auxiliary contact –
block. They have mechanically-linked auxiliary contacts compliant with
Annex L of IEC 60947-5-1, including the "Mechanically Linked" symbol
on their side
N.C. auxiliary contacts are mirror contacts in compliance with Annex F of –
IEC 60947-4-1.
