The coil operates on AC or DC supply at 220-240 V rated value, with a pickup voltage range of 0.8 to 1.1 times the rated value at 50/60 Hz. It uses screw fixing through a single 9 mm hole. ## Auxiliary Contact Ratings and Wiring The auxiliary contacts are rated for switching at various DC voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. At 230 V AC, the rating is 6 A. Up to four auxiliary contact blocks can be attached, giving flexibility for feedback, interlocking, or status signaling in the control circuit. Physical dimensions are 172 mm height, 120 mm width, and 170 mm depth. The S6 frame size is a standard Siemens contactor footprint; verify backpanel layout against these dimensions before committing the BOM line.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1456-6AP38-0PA5 SIRIUS Contactor, S6 Frame, 220-2","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1456-6AP38-0PA5 contactor, S6 size, 220-240V AC/DC coil, screw terminals, 25-120 mm² stranded main circuit.
