45 A, 3-pole, wide-coil contactor — still in active production
The ABB AF26-30-00-11 is a 3-pole IEC contactor rated for 45 A continuous at 600 VAC. It belongs to the AF-line series, AF26 frame, and ships without auxiliary contacts — just the main pole block.
Wide AC/DC coil — one part covers 20-60 V control
The coil accepts 20-60 VAC and 20-60 VDC, so a single contactor works across a range of control voltages — 24 V, 48 V, or 60 V nominal. That simplifies stocking and panel wiring when you have mixed control circuits. The electronic coil interface on the AF-line series holds in during voltage dips and switches cleanly on DC without a separate suppression diode. For a panel builder, that means fewer parts to spec per cabinet.
DIN-rail mounting, 3-pole block — no auxiliaries included
This is a bare 3-pole contactor — no auxiliary contact blocks attached. If your circuit needs NO/NC feedback, you add a side-mounting aux block separately. The AF26 frame accepts standard ABB auxiliary contact modules (e.g., CAL series) that snap onto the side without tools. Mounts on a DIN rail (EN 60715) — typical for control panels. The 45 A rating means it handles motor loads up to about 22 kW at 400 VAC (AC-3 duty), but confirm the actual motor FLA and service factor against the contactor's utilization category in your application.
