AFS 3-pole contactors with front-mounted auxiliary contacts
Dedicated for safety applications
ABB’s complete range of safety components make protection systems easier to
build. Designed for machine safety applications, AFS contactors come with fixed
front auxiliary contact blocks, making them ideal for monitoring and controlling
circuits. Mechanically linked and mirror contacts help make your system safer.
Safety and protectionContinuous operationSpeed up your projects
Safety in all things
ABB’s AFS contactors can be easily
integrated in machine manufacturer’s
systems complying with main standards
ENISO13849 and EN 62061 - guaranteeing the safe use of your machinery
and equipment.
The AFS contactor range is an integral
part of ABB’s comprehensive range of
safety products.
Secure uptime
The AFS contactor secures system uptime.
It allows direct control by safety PLCs or
safety relays to ensure the safety performance customers require, for contactors
up to 38 A. A low energy auxiliary contact guarantees PLC feedback.
Simplify design
Perfect design makes integration easier.
ABB’s distinctive yellow auxiliary contact
block makes identifying the right product
quicker.
By reducing the contactor coil’s power
consumption, panels can also be made
smaller and transformers more compact.
In addition, all the safety data for the
contactors are readily available using
safety design tools.

AFS contactors with front-mounted auxiliary contact blocks
Dedicated for safety applications
Contactors status guaranteed
ABB’s permanently fixed front-mounted auxiliary contact blocks
guarantee the correct contactor status at all times.
Mechanically linked and mirror contacts get clearly marked
symbols on the front and provide the performance required in
feedback circuits. This prevents any unexpected state changes
of auxiliary contact if main contacts become welded or stuck
and ensures an accurate depiction of the safety system status
displayed at all times.
Easy safety chain identification
The yellow housing of ABB’s AFS contactors makes identifying
the safety product in your panel quicker. During routine maintenance work, ABB’s intuitive design saves valuable time.
Prevent unexpected operations
Front-mounted contact blocks are permanently fixed to protect
devices against accidental misuse and operation. A factoryfitted transparent cover shields the contactor status indicator,
providing additional protection.

Simplify calculation of your installation safety level
All safety values are available in safety design tool such as Sistema
and FSDT, dedicated software for determining the Performance
Level (PL) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of safety functions and
generating technical documentations.

Control by safety PLCs or safety relays
ABB’s AFS contactors can be controlled directly by safety PLCs
or safety relays. The low energy auxiliary contacts feature a minimum switching capacity 12 V / 3 mA. They guarantee system
status feedback, making the system safe and reliable.

Sentry safety relay
Fast response for increased safety
With fast opening times less than 30 ms for selected variants,
AFS09 ... AFS38 respond quickly when a dangerous failure is
detected. Safety is enhanced and the safety distances of installations can be significantly shorter.
Panel size reduction
By reducing coil energy consumption by up to 60%, panels can be
built smaller and transformers can be downsized. With reduced
power dissipation in the cabinet, installations also need fewer
fans. Using AFS contactors saves money and precious space.
Built-in surge suppression
Unlike conventional contactors, ABB's AFS contactors have
built-in surge suppression, preventing surges from ever reaching the control circuit. With no need for the usual external surge
suppressor add-ons, ABB’s solution means one less device to
install and one less complication to manage.
