Spring-loaded terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, so it terminates into standard control wiring without ferrules if you strip to 8 mm. The 45 mm width and snap-on mounting onto 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022 means it fits a standard panel footprint — side-by-side mounting is permitted, so you can gang several on the same rail without derating the enclosure's thermal budget provided you stay within the rated operating temperature range of -25... +60 °C. ## Coil and switching ratings The coil is rated for 110 V at 50 Hz and 120 V at 60 Hz, with a holding power of 5.1 V·A at 50 Hz. The arcing time across the main contacts runs 10... 15 ms — that's the interval the arc extinguishes after the contacts part, which matters for coordination with upstream fuses or breakers in a motor branch circuit. Switching frequency at AC-1 (resistive load) maxes out at 1 000 operations per hour; for motor duty (AC-3) you'd derate that significantly — the mechanical life of 30 000 000 operations is the limit before wear, not the electrical life under load. The mounting position allows vertical surface with +/-180° rotation and +/-30° tilt forward/back — so you can orient it in a tight cabinet as long as the coil's magnetic circuit isn't fighting gravity. Storage temperature range is -55... +80 °C, operating range -25... +60 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1517-2AK60 SIRIUS Power Contactor, S00, 24 VDC Co","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1517-2AK60 power contactor, size S00, 24 VDC coil rated 10 A.

The 3RT1517-2AK60 uses spring-loaded terminals while the 3RT1016-2AP02 uses screw terminals — if the panel was wired with ferruled stranded conductors for screw clamps, those same conductors may need re-termination for the spring cage (strip length and ferrule compatibility differ).
