Spring-type terminals (cage clamp) accept 0.5... 4 mm² solid or stranded wire, and up to 2x (0.5... 4 mm²) per clamp — no screw torque to verify, which speeds panel wiring. ## Switching frequency and contact ratings Maximum switching frequency depends on duty: 1 000 operations/hour at AC-1 (resistive), 750/h at AC-2 and AC-3 (motor starting), and 250/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching). The AC-3e rating also caps at 750/h. These limits govern thermal rise in the coil and contacts — exceeding them shortens life or causes nuisance tripping. Main contacts are rated for 20... 12 A (likely a range for different voltage/load combinations, though the exact condition isn't broken out here). The auxiliary contact at 24 V DC is 6 A; at 230 V it's rated 1 hp.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2016-2DB44 SIRIUS Power Contactor, 24 V DC Coil,","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2016-2DB44 SIRIUS power contactor, size S00, 24 V DC coil, spring-type terminals, 45 mm width.
