AF technology

Benefits

Wide control voltage range

With conventional contactor technology, different contactors

are needed for different network voltages. Thanks to the wide

operating range of the AF contactor, it can operate just as well

in Europe as in Asia or North America. The core coil of the

AFcontactor range covers 100-250VAC/DC, 50 / 60Hz.

Reliable in all networks

The electronic system within the AF contactor continuously monitor

the current and voltage apply to the coil. The contactor is safely

operated in an always optimized condition and hum free.

Built-in surge suppression

With conventional contactor technology, it is recommended

to use an external surge suppressor, an accessory that could

cost as much as half of the contactor. With the AF technology,

the surges are handled by the contactor and never reach the

control circuit. One less product and one less complication to

worry about.

Four coils for the entire voltage range

AF contactors feature both AC and DC control in the same

product. Still, the total number of product variants compared

to a conventional range is reduced by 90%. Only four coils are

required to cover 24VAC, 20VDC - 500VAC/DC.
