The ABB AF265‑30‑11‑13 is a 3‑phase, 3‑pole AC/DC contactor from ABB’s “AF” series, designed for switching heavy loads such as three‑phase motors or power circuits. It features a wide‑range electronic coil that accepts 100–250 V AC or 100–250 V DC control input, allowing one coil design to be used worldwide without coil change. The contactor includes 3 main normally‑open (NO) power contacts and a built‑in auxiliary contact block (1 NO + 1 NC), and supports a variety of add‑on auxiliary contacts and accessories. Its block‑type design, high switching capacity, built‑in surge suppression and robust construction make it suitable for industrial applications with high power demands and fluctuating supply conditions.
