The coil is 24 VDC with screw-type terminals, so it's a straightforward install — no special tooling needed at the panel. The contactor carries an auxiliary switch, which gives you a feedback signal for the PLC or a status light without adding a separate block. ## Rated for the real duty cycle The switching frequency tells you what this contactor is built for: up to 750 cycles per hour in AC-3 duty (standard motor starting), and 250 cycles per hour in AC-4 (plugging or inching). That AC-3 rate covers most conveyor, pump, and fan applications. The AC-1 resistive load rate is 1,000 cycles per hour, which is fine for heater banks or lighting contactor duty. Mechanical life is typical at 30 million operations, so this is a set-and-forget part for most panel builds. The contactor's arcing time runs 10 to 15 ms at 50/60 Hz, which is within the normal range for this frame size — no surprise for a Size S00 block. ## Wiring and clearances Terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and you can land two conductors per clamp — 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². That's useful for daisy-chaining control power or paralleling outputs without a separate terminal block. For compliance, the SIRIUS line typically carries UL, CSA, and CE markings, though the specific approvals for this order code should be confirmed at quote time against your jurisdiction's requirements.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2016-1AQ02 SIRIUS Power Contactor, Size S00, 24 V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2016-1AQ02 SIRIUS power contactor, Size S00, 24 VDC coil, screw terminals.
