45 A, 4-Pole IEC Contactor — AF26 Frame
The AF26-40-00-13 is a 4-pole IEC contactor rated 45 A continuous, built on the AF26 frame from Eaton's AF-Line series. The 45 A rating covers motor starting and resistive load switching within the thermal current envelope of the contact block. Coil acceptance spans 100-250 VAC or VDC, so one part number covers both control voltage families — useful when panel design mixes AC and DC control circuits or when the control transformer taps vary across sites.
Current Production — Sourcing Reality
Sourced through independent distribution channels; availability and volume pricing are confirmed at RFQ against the buyer's BOM quantity. No stock-holding claim — quoted per order.
Panel Fit and Wiring Notes
Four N.O. main contacts on the AF26 frame — no auxiliary contact block included. The 4-pole configuration suits switching three-phase power plus neutral, or dual independent loads in a single contactor footprint. Rated 600 V, so it handles 480 V panel feeds with headroom. The 45 A continuous rating means the contactor carries the full motor FLA without derating in a 40 °C ambient — typical for IEC utilization categories AC-1 (resistive) and AC-3 (squirrel-cage motors).
