The AF26-30-00K-11: Lifecycle stage is confirmed as current. No obsolescence notice, no last-time-buy date, and no successor part number have been issued. This contactor is a standard production item — not a phase-out, not a special-order legacy part. For procurement, that means it can be sourced through normal ABB distribution channels with standard lead times, quoted against an RFQ.
The AF26 series is a compact, general-purpose contactor family used for switching motor loads, resistive heating, and lighting circuits in industrial control panels. The 26 A rating (AC-3 duty for motor switching) covers small three-phase motors up to roughly 7.5 kW at 400 V. The 24 VDC coil is standard for PLC-driven panels where a 24 V control supply is already present. The integrated auxiliary contacts eliminate the need for a separate add-on block in many basic reversing or interlocking circuits.
