Contactor AF09-40-00 4P BOB 100-250VAC-DC

The ABB AF09-40-00-13 contactor, reference 1SBL137201R1300, is a four-pole contactor from the AF range equipped with 4 normally open main contacts (4 NO) and a wide-range electronic coil capable of operating between 100 and 250 V in both AC and DC. It is especially suitable for switching power circuits, resistive or slightly inductive loads, and other automation applications where four poles need to be switched simultaneously.

Its rated operational current reaches 25 A in AC-1 category up to 690 V, while in AC-3 category it supports 9 A and a motor power of up to 4 kW at 380-400 V. ABB’s AF electronic coil technology allows the same reference to be used with different control voltages within the specified range and provides high tolerance to voltage variations.

Four-pole contactor with 4 NO main contacts

The ABB AF09-40-00-13 is configured with 4 normally open main poles. All four contacts close when the coil is energized and open when the control signal is removed.

• Number of poles: 4.
• Main NO contacts: 4.
• Main NC contacts: 0.
• Built-in auxiliary contacts: 0 NO + 0 NC.
• Type: electromechanical contactor with electronic coil.

The four-pole configuration is especially useful in applications where simultaneous switching of several conductors or circuits is required using a single contactor.

25 A in AC-1 category

For non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, ABB specifies an AC-1 rated operational current of 25 A up to 690 V under ambient temperature conditions of up to 60 °C.

• AC-1 at 40 °C: 25 A.
• AC-1 at 60 °C: 25 A.
• AC-1 at 70 °C: 22 A.
• Conventional thermal current Ith: 35 A at 40 °C.

This utilization category makes the AF09-40-00 particularly suitable for switching resistive loads, electric heating systems, and other receivers with a low inductive component.

Performance in AC-3 category

Although this is a four-pole contactor mainly intended for AC-1 applications, ABB also specifies performance in AC-3 category for motor switching.

• AC-3 current at 220-240 V: 9 A.
• AC-3 current at 380-400 V: 9 A.
• AC-3 current at 415 V: 9 A.
• AC-3 current at 440 V: 9 A.
• AC-3 current at 500 V: 9.5 A.
• AC-3 current at 690 V: 7 A.

Motor power up to 4 kW at 400 V

For motor applications, the ABB AF09-40-00-13 provides the following rated operational powers:

• 2.2 kW at 220-240 V AC.
• 4 kW at 380-400 V AC.
• 4 kW at 415 V AC.
• 4 kW at 440 V AC.
• 5.5 kW at 500 V AC.
• 5.5 kW at 690 V AC.

The final selection of the contactor should be made according to the utilization category, power, rated current of the load, and switching frequency of the installation.

100 to 250 V AC/DC electronic coil

One of the main advantages of the ABB AF range is its wide-range electronic voltage coil. In this -13 version, a single coil accepts control voltages between 100 and 250 V.

• Control voltage at 50 Hz: 100-250 V AC.
• Control voltage at 60 Hz: 100-250 V AC.
• Control voltage in direct current: 100-250 V DC.
• Rated control circuit frequency: 50/60 Hz.

This feature allows the same reference to be used in different control systems without needing to replace the coil when working with different voltages within the rated range.

Integrated surge suppressor

ABB AF contactors incorporate integrated overvoltage protection in the electronic coil. This helps reduce voltage spikes generated during contactor switching without the need to add an external suppressor in typical applications.

Reducing these surges helps limit disturbances that may affect PLCs, relays, electronic modules, and other devices connected to the control circuit.

Wide voltage range for automation

The coil’s electronic interface is designed to withstand control voltage variations within its wide operating range. This feature simplifies the design of automation panels and supports reference standardization when the same machine or equipment must adapt to different control networks.

The AF09-40-00-13 can be used with control signals from relays, controllers, timers, automation systems, and other elements compatible with its coil voltage.

No built-in auxiliary contacts

Reference 1SBL137201R1300 is supplied with 0 built-in NO auxiliary contacts and 0 built-in NC auxiliary contacts. Its AF09-40-00 designation refers precisely to its four NO main poles and the absence of factory-fitted auxiliaries.

When the application requires additional contacts for interlocking, signaling, or feedback, the contactor accepts compatible ABB auxiliary blocks installed frontally or laterally depending on the permitted configuration.
