ABB TF42-5.7 (order code 1SAZ721201R1038) is a genuine ABB thermal overload relay: Thermal Overload Relay 4.2-5.7 A, Class 10, 1NO+1NC.
TF thermal overload relays protect motors against overload and phase failure: bimetal strips heated by the motor current trip the auxiliary contact, which opens the contactor coil circuit. They mount directly under AF contactors.
More ABB contactors, overload relays and control parts: ABB range.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the full type TF42-5.7 or the order code 1SAZ721201R1038; in ABB type designations the last digits select the current range or the coil voltage, so a part with a different suffix is not always a drop-in replacement.
If the old label is worn, send us a photo and we will confirm the matching ABB type before quoting.
What to check first
- Reset mode (manual/automatic)
- Trip class
- Contactor size it mounts on
