Wire sizes accepted: solid or stranded 0.5 to 4 mm², and up to 2x 4 mm² or 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²). ## DC Switching Capacity DC switching ratings are specified per voltage: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 3 A at 400 V. These are the contactor's make/break limits for DC resistive loads — important for battery-backed or rectified circuits where DC arc extinction is harder than AC. Maximum switching frequency varies by duty: 1,000 cycles/hour at AC-1 (resistive), 750 cycles/hour at AC-2 and AC-3 (motor starting/running), and 250 cycles/hour at AC-4 (plugging/inching). Typical mechanical life is 30,000,000 operations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2016-1BF42 SIRIUS Power Contactor, S00, 110 VDC C","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016-1BF42 power contactor, size S00, 110 VDC coil, screw terminals, 45x58x73 mm, current production.
