Why Choose the ABB AFC16-30-01-81 Contactor?
The ABB AFC16-30-01-81, product ID 1SBL171001R8101, is a compact 3-pole AC contactor designed for controlling three-phase motors and switching power circuits in industrial machinery, automation and electrical control systems. As part of the ABB AFC contactor range, it combines an electromagnetic AC coil with a block-type design that can be expanded using compatible auxiliary contact blocks and accessories.
The AFC16-30-01-81 features three normally open main contacts and one normally closed built-in auxiliary contact. It is rated for motors up to 7.5 kW at 380–400 V AC under AC-3 duty, with an 18 A AC-3 operational current, while its AC-1 rating reaches 30 A at 690 V.
Its electromagnetic coil operates from a 24 V AC 50/60 Hz control supply, making this specific variant suitable for low-voltage AC control circuits. Screw terminals provide secure electrical connections, while its compact 86 × 45 × 77 mm dimensions support space-efficient installation inside industrial control panels and machinery.
