It is a current-production part, still actively manufactured. The coil is 24 VDC with spring-type terminals, so no screwdriver is needed for the control wiring — just strip and push. Depth is 73 mm, height 70 mm, so it fits most shallow enclosures. This is a coupling contactor — it's built for frequent switching, not just holding closed. Electrical life depends on load: at AC-1 (resistive) it can cycle 1000 times per hour; at AC-3 (motor starting) it's rated 750 cycles/h; at AC-4 (plugging/inching) drop to 250 cycles/h. The DC switching time is 7 to 20 ms, arcing time 10 to 15 ms. The main contact range is 20 to 12, meaning it's sized for small motor or resistive loads typical of S00 contactors.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96 SIRIUS Coupling Contactor, 24 VDC","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96 coupling contactor, size S00, 24 VDC coil, spring-type terminals, 45 mm wide.
