1SBN081325T1000 ABB BEA16-4KF Connecting Link with Manual Motor Starter

Why Choose the ABB 1SBN081325T1000 BEA16-4KF Connecting Link?

The ABB 1SBN081325T1000, model BEA16-4KF, is an insulated 3-pole connecting link designed to connect compatible ABB AF and AFC contactors directly to an MS132-K manual motor starter. As part of ABB's Push-in Spring motor starting solution, it provides both the electrical and mechanical connection required to create a compact direct-on-line motor starter assembly.

The BEA16-4KF is designed for AF09..K to AF16..K and AFC09..K to AFC16..K 3-pole contactors together with compatible MS132-K manual motor starters. For AFC applications, ABB specifies compatibility with MS132-0.16K through MS132-25K, providing a coordinated connection between motor protection and contactor switching components.

The connecting link incorporates Push-in Spring terminal technology to support fast installation, straightforward wiring and dependable connections. Integrated black fork pieces assist with quick dismounting of the direct-on-line starter, making the BEA16-4KF particularly useful for compact industrial control panels where efficient installation and maintenance are important.

Compact Connections for Coordinated Motor Starters

Direct-on-line motor starters commonly combine a manual motor starter for short-circuit, overload and manual switching functions with a contactor for electrically controlled motor operation. A purpose-designed connecting link allows these components to be assembled into a coordinated unit without the additional space and wiring associated with separate conductor connections.

The ABB BEA16-4KF provides this interface for compatible AF and AFC Push-in Spring contactors and MS132-K manual motor starters. Its 3-pole insulated construction carries the main circuit between the devices while also providing the required mechanical connection, helping panel builders create compact, organised and easily serviceable motor starter assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Direct-on-line three-phase motor starters.
• Industrial motor control centres.
• Electrical control panels and switchgear.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Pump and fan motor control.
• Production and packaging machinery.
• OEM machine building and automation systems.
• Compact ABB MS132-K and AF/AFC contactor assemblies.
