Contactors and contactor relays

To keep things running you need control

ABB offers a comprehensive selection of contactors for simple and extreme application as well as products with specific purposes. The AF contactor technology revolutionizes how we use contactors and allows use in all parts of the world and in all network conditions. Furthermore, mini-contactor range offers compact dimensions and specific connection possibilities. The AS contactor is efficient and allows you to optimize your equipment design. You can choose terminals between screw, push-in spring and ring tongue through our ranges. So whatever your need of a contactor might be, ABB will have a variant meeting just that.
