ABB AFS Series 3-Pole Safety Contactor, 2NO2NC, 24-60VAC/20-60VDC Control Circuit

The ABB AFS series safety contactor is engineered for machine safety applications, providing a 3-pole (3P) power configuration with a 2NO2NC front-mounted auxiliary contact block. It accepts a wide control circuit voltage range of 24...60V AC (50/60Hz) and 20...60V DC through an electronic coil interface, reducing panel energy consumption. Mirror and mechanically linked contacts, marked per IEC 60947-5-1, guarantee accurate contactor status reporting for safety-critical circuits.

Key Features

  • Control Circuit Voltage: 24...60V AC (50/60Hz) and 20...60V DC electronic coil interface accepts a wide control voltage range, reducing panel energy consumption.
  • Configuration: 3-Pole (3P) contactor with 2NO2NC front-mounted auxiliary contact block for monitoring and controlling safety circuits.
  • Mirror & Mechanically Linked Contacts: Front-marked symbol per IEC 60947-5-1 always guarantees the correct contactor status for safer systems.
  • Fixed Auxiliary Contact Block: Permanently fixed front-mounted design with a protective cover to prevent manual operation.
  • Yellow Housing: Distinct yellow housing allows for easy identification of safety contactors on the panel.
  • Minimum Switching Capacity: 12V / 3mA with a failure rate of 10-7 per IEC 60947-5-4.
  • Built-In Surge Suppression: Protects control circuitry from voltage spikes during switching.
  • Terminal Type: Screw Terminals for secure field wiring connections.

ABB AFS40-30-22-11 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABB AFS40-30-22-11 safety contactor work with a 24VDC safety relay output?
Yes. The AFS40-30-22-11 uses an electronic coil interface rated 24...60V AC (50/60Hz) and 20...60V DC, so a 24VDC output from a safety relay drives it directly. The same part also covers 24V, 48V and 60V AC control schemes, which means one coil part number can serve panels with different control voltages.
2) Does the ABB AFS40-30-22-11 have mirror contacts for feedback to a safety relay?
It does. The AFS series carries mirror and mechanically linked contacts, front-marked with the symbol per IEC 60947-5-1, so the auxiliary contact state always reflects the true position of the power poles. That is what a safety relay or safety PLC needs to monitor for a welded main contact before allowing a reset.
3) How many auxiliary contacts does the AFS40-30-22-11 come with, and can I add more?
The contactor is a 3-pole power device with a 2NO2NC front-mounted auxiliary contact block already fitted. That block is permanently fixed with a protective cover to prevent manual operation, so treat the 2NO2NC as what you get; plan your monitoring and interlock wiring around those four auxiliary contacts.
4) Is a safety contactor like the ABB AFS different from a standard motor contactor?
Yes, and the difference matters for a category-rated stop circuit. A standard contactor gives you no guaranteed relationship between its auxiliary contact and its power poles, so a welded main pole can still read as open. The AFS uses mechanically linked mirror contacts marked per IEC 60947-5-1, so the NC auxiliary cannot close while a main pole is welded closed. That is what lets a safety relay detect the fault and lock out the reset. Use a standard contactor for general motor switching and the AFS where the contactor is part of the safety function itself.
5) Can I use this ABB safety contactor to switch low-level signal circuits, like a 24V PLC input?
Within limits. The minimum switching capacity is 12V / 3mA with a failure rate of 10-7 per IEC 60947-5-4, so a 24V PLC input drawing a few milliamps is inside the rated range for the auxiliary contacts. Below 12V or under 3mA you are outside what the contact is rated to reliably make and break.
6) Do I need to add a surge suppressor module to the coil of the ABB AFS40-30-22-11?
No separate suppressor is needed. Surge suppression is built into the AFS coil circuit to protect control wiring from spikes during switching. That saves a slot on the contactor and one more part on the BOM when the coil is being driven from a safety relay or PLC output.
7) What is the ABB part number to order for the 3-pole 2NO2NC safety contactor with 24-60V control?
Order ABB AFS40-30-22-11. The suffix breaks out as the 3-pole power configuration with the 2NO2NC fixed front auxiliary block and the 24...60V AC / 20...60V DC electronic coil. Quote that full string, since adjacent AFS part numbers differ only in coil range and auxiliary arrangement.
8) Why is the ABB AFS contactor yellow instead of the usual grey or black?
The yellow housing is a deliberate identification cue. On a crowded panel it lets an electrician or inspector pick out which contactors are in the safety chain versus standard motor starters, so nobody swaps a safety-rated unit for an ordinary one during a service call. It is a maintenance and documentation aid, not a coating or environmental rating.
9) What kind of terminals does the ABB AFS safety contactor use for field wiring?
Screw terminals throughout. If your panel standard calls for spring-clamp or push-in terminations, this is not that version, and mixed terminal types on one panel usually means two torque specs and two tool sets for the crew doing terminations.
