Main circuit wiring uses spring-loaded terminals accepting 2x (0.25-1.5 mm²) solid conductor — no screw torque check, just strip and push, which shaves a few minutes per termination on a multi-starter panel. ## Mounting and environmental fit Snap-on mounting to a standard DIN rail with a screw-down option for vibration-heavy environments — the 45 mm width fits a standard 8-module enclosure row, and the 191 mm height clears most shallow gland-plate enclosures. Rated for continuous operation per IEC 60947-6-2, pollution degree 3, and any mounting position — install it sideways or upside down if the panel layout demands it, with no derating penalty. Shock rated at 60 m/s² (6 g) for 10 ms, three shocks per axis, and vibration tested to 20 m/s² up to 500 Hz — it holds up on a machine frame next to a press or a conveyor drive without relay chatter.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA6120-2CP32 SIRIUS Compact Starter, 53 kA at 400 V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RA6120-2CP32 SIRIUS compact direct starter, 53 kA breaking capacity at 400 V, adjustable Class 10/20, 110-240 V AC/DC coil.
