The 3-pole AFS..Z contactors are designed for machine safety applications. They are supplied with permanently mounted color-coded auxiliary contact blocks on the front and are therefore ideal for monitoring and controlling power circuits with motors, slightly inductive or non-inductive loads. The contactors enable direct control via =24V DC 250mA PLC outputs with a very low holding power of only 1.7W. The integrated auxiliary contacts are positively guided and designed as mirror contacts in accordance with IEC60947-5-1 Appendix L. They also have built-in overvoltage protection and do not require any additional suppressors. Minimum switching capacity of the auxiliary contacts 12V / 3mA, with a failure rate 10-7 in accordance with IEC 60947-5-4.
