DC switching capability is listed per voltage: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V — these are resistive-load curves, so derate for inductive DC loads like brake coils or solenoid valves. The S00 frame is compact at 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, 72 mm deep — fits standard panel spacing.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1516-1AR60 SIRIUS S00 Power Contactor, 400V 50Hz","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1516-1AR60 power contactor, size S00, 400V 50Hz coil, 5.1 VA.
