IEC contactor cross reference: frame sizes and part numbers
Meisterline Controls scopes and quotes UL 508A control panels. This page lines up IEC contactor frames from ABB, Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric and Siemens by their published AC-3 and 480 V horsepower ratings, then shows how each line’s part numbers are built: frame, poles and auxiliary contacts, and coil code, with the catalog page for each.
Frames side by side
A matching frame is a starting point, not an equivalent. Coil voltage, auxiliary contact arrangement and horsepower at your voltage all have to be checked before a part can be substituted. Send the list and we’ll check it against your ratings.
AC-3 is the IEC motor-duty rating at 400 V. Horsepower is the 3-phase rating at 480 V. "Nearest frame" is the other line's smallest frame with an equal or higher AC-3 rating and an equal or higher horsepower at 480 V, where that frame's UL listing is confirmed in its own catalog. 3-pole frames. One row per ABB AF frame, with the other lines placed against it. The Z and T versions are listed under the ABB coil codes below.
The frame number is a size name, not the rating. The AF16, for example, is rated 18 A AC-3, and the AF30 is rated 32 A. Every rating in the table is read from ABB's catalog pages listed under it.

Eaton XT frames aren’t named in this table. Eaton’s catalog prints ratings for the XT contactors, and Meisterline Controls names a frame only where the catalog states the UL listing. Eaton XT direct current contactors are confirmed and are covered through our Parts Check.
How each line’s part numbers are built
Each section uses only that line’s own catalog, with the page for every code. Where two pages of the same catalog disagree, the item is left out and noted.
