Application
AF09 and AF16 4-pole contactors are used for controlling power circuits up to 690 V AC and 440 V DC.
They are mainly used for controlling non-inductive or slightly inductive loads (i.e. resistance furnaces...).
Description
–AF09 and AF16 contactors include an electronic coil interface accepting a wide control voltage Uc min. ... Uc max.
Only four coils cover control voltages between 24...500 V 50/60 Hz or 20...500 V DC
–AF contactors can manage large control voltage variations. One coil (i.e. 100...250 V 50/60 Hz - DC) can be
used for different control voltages used worldwide without any coil change
–AF..Z contactors equipped with a Z coil type allow direct control by 24 V DC 500 mA PLC-output and obtain a
reduced holding coil consumption. AF..Z contactors withstand short dips and voltage interruptions (SEMI F47-0706
compliance)
–AF contactors have built-in surge protection and do not require additional surge suppressors.

Mechanical interlock unit
Description
VM4 mechanical interlock unit for the interlocking of two AF contactors.
When mounted between two contactors without additional width, the VM4 mechanical interlock unit prevents one
of the contactors from closing as long as the other contactor is closed.
The mechanical interlock unit includes 2 fixing clips (BB4).

Description
VEM4 mechanical and electrical interlock set for the interlocking of two AF contactors.
VEM4 set includes a mechanical interlock unit VM4 with 2 fixing clips (BB4) and a VE4 electrical interlock block
with A2-A2 connection.
Fixing the electrical interlock block to the contactor front face connects the 2 built-in N.C. interlocking contacts
with the two coils. VE4 block must be used with A2-A2 connection to respect the electrical connection diagram.
