Mounts on standard 35 mm DIN rail per EN 60715 – screw or snap-on – and you can rotate it ±180° on a vertical surface, plus tilt it ±22.5° forward or backward. That flexibility helps when you're laying out a crowded panel. Dimensions are 152 mm deep, 70 mm wide, and 140 mm high – enough clearance for wiring access but note the 10 mm minimum clearance required upwards, downwards, and sideways, plus 20 mm forwards for arcing and cooling. Main terminals accept solid conductors from 2.5 to 16 mm², or stranded from 6 to 70 mm² – that covers most motor branch circuit feeds for an S3 size. The auxiliary circuit uses smaller terminals: 2 x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2 x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded. All terminals are screw-type, so no special crimping tool needed beyond a good screwdriver. That's wide enough for most indoor panels, but if you mount it near a heat source, keep the clearance numbers in mind. The contactor is rated for switching frequencies depending on duty: AC-1 resistive loads up to 900 operations per hour, AC-3 motor loads up to 850 operations per hour (or 850 for AC-3e as well), AC-2 up to 350, and AC-4 up to 250. If you're cycling a motor on and off rapidly, let me show you why you keep below those limits – beyond them, contact life drops fast.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2046-1AP60 SIRIUS Power Contactor, S3, 152mm Dept","metaDescription":"Active production power contactor, size S3, screw-type coil terminals, mounts on 35 mm DIN rail, 152 mm depth, 70 mm width.
