Why Choose the ABB LY185 Connecting Strip?
The ABB 1SFN074703R1000, manufacturer designation LY185, is a purpose-designed three-pole connecting strip for creating parallel or shorting connections across the main terminals of compatible ABB contactors. It provides a coordinated busbar connection for applications requiring the three contactor poles to be electrically linked.
As a genuine ABB contactor accessory, the LY185 is engineered to fit the specified contactor terminal arrangement and provide a secure connection across all three poles. Its integrated construction simplifies assembly compared with fabricating separate links for each terminal.
The LY185 uses screw-terminal connections and is suitable for ABB AF190, AF205, A145, A185, AX185 and AX205 contactors. Its compact form makes it practical for industrial control panels, switchboards and specialised contactor configurations.
Key Advantages
- Creates a three-pole parallel or shorting connection.
- Provides a coordinated link across compatible contactor terminals.
- Reduces the need to fabricate individual connection bars.
- Screw terminals support secure installation and servicing.
- Compatible with several specified ABB contactor models.
- Genuine ABB accessory designed for dependable mechanical integration.
Key Features
- ABB LY connecting strip series.
- LY185 manufacturer designation.
- Three-pole busbar configuration.
- Suitable for parallel pole connections.
- Suitable for shorting contactor terminals.
- Screw-terminal connection method.
- Compatible with specified ABB A, AF and AX contactors.
- Compact dimensions of 93 × 27 × 28.7 mm.
Reliable Parallel and Shorting Connections
A contactor connecting strip electrically links multiple main terminals so that the poles can operate as a coordinated parallel or shorted connection. Using a purpose-designed busbar provides a more consistent terminal arrangement than producing separate links during panel assembly.
The ABB LY185 is matched to the terminal geometry of compatible ABB contactors. It allows panel builders and maintenance engineers to create specialised power-circuit configurations while retaining secure screw-terminal connections and an organised installation.
Typical Applications
- Parallel contactor pole connections.
- Three-pole terminal shorting arrangements.
- Industrial motor-control panels.
- Electrical switchboards and power assemblies.
- Specialised contactor switching configurations.
- OEM machinery and automation equipment.
