At the same voltage in AC-3, it handles 4 kW motor load; the AC-4 rating (inching/plugging) also holds at 4 kW at 400 V, so the contactor doesn't derate for those severe switching cycles. ## DIN rail snap-on with side-by-side stacking Side-by-side mounting is allowed, so multiple contactors pack without spacing gaps. That covers most panel layouts without derating the switching capacity. ## Mechanical life and auxiliary contact count Rated for 30 million mechanical operating cycles typical — that's the contactor body itself, not the contacts. For a line cycling once every 10 seconds, that's about 9.5 years of continuous service before mechanical wear becomes a concern. The built-in auxiliary switch (1 NO + 1 NC, wired to terminals 20-12 for NC and 20-12 for NO) gives feedback for the PLC or a holding circuit without an add-on block. If more aux contacts are needed, up to 2 attachable blocks fit the S00 frame. ## Environmental range and compliance deadlines The 10 % minimum relative humidity floor matters for dry climates — no condensation risk inside the enclosure at low humidity. Rated impulse withstand voltage is 6 kV for the main circuit, covering installation category III in 400 V distribution. RoHS compliance date is 10/01/2009 (the EU RoHS effective date), so the contactor meets the substance restrictions for current EU markets.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2316-2AF00 SIRIUS Contactor, 9 A AC-3, 110 V Coil","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2316-2AF00 SIRIUS contactor, size S00, 9 A at 400 V AC-3, 4 kW motor rating, 110 V 50/60 Hz coil, spring terminals.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Contactors"],"specifications":{"Depth":"73 mm","Solid":"2x (0.5 ... 2.5 mm²)","Width":"45 mm","at AC":"7 ... 13 ms","title":"3RT2316-2AF00","Height":"70 mm","Upwards":"10 mm","Forwards":"10 mm","Stranded":"0.5 ... 4 mm²","at 50 Hz":"0.25","at 60 Hz":"0.25","Downwards":"10 mm","Attachable":"2","Arcing Time":"10 ... 15 ms","At The Side":"6 mm","description":"contactor AC-1, 18 A, 400 V / 40 °C, 4-pole, 110 V AC, 50/60 Hz, spring-loaded terminal, size: S00","During Storage":"-55 ... +80 °C","Of Magnet Coil":"Spring-type terminals","Type Of Voltage":"AC","lifecycle_stage":"current","Auxiliary Switch":"Yes","During Operation":"-25 ... +60 °C","Fastening Method":"screw and snap-on mounting onto 35 mm DIN rail according to DIN EN 60715","For Main Contacts":"20 ... 12","Mounting Position":"+/-180° rotation possible on vertical mounting surface; can be tilted forward and backward by +/- 22.5° on vertical mounting surface","Size Of Contactor":"S00","Solid Or Stranded":"2x (0,5 ... 4 mm²)","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Product Designation":"Contactor","Of Contactor Typical":"30 000 000","at 400 V rated value":"9 A","at 50 Hz rated value":"110 V","at 60 Hz rated value":"110 V","Side-By-Side Mounting":"Yes","For Auxiliary Contacts":"20 ... 12","For Main Current Circuit":"spring-loaded terminals","Relative Humidity Minimum":"10 %","Of Main Circuit Rated Value":"6 kV","at AC in hot operating state":"4.4 W","at AC-3 at 400 V rated value":"4 kW","at AC-4 at 400 V rated value":"4 kW","Substance Prohibitance (Date)":"10/01/2009","Of Auxiliary Circuit Rated Value":"6 kV","For Auxiliary And Control Circuit":"spring-loaded terminals","Function Module For Communication":"No","Product Function Bus Communication":"No","With Type Of Assignment 2 Required":"gG: 20 A (690 V, 100 kA)","At Contactor For Auxiliary Contacts":"Spring-type terminals","operating frequency at AC-1 maximum":"1 000 1/h","With Type Of Coordination 1 Required":"gG: 35 A (690 V, 100 kA)","at AC in hot operating state per pole":"1.1 W","for AWG cables for auxiliary contacts":"2x (20 ... 16), 2x (18 ... 14), 2x 12","number of NO contacts for main contacts":"4","reference code according to IEC 81346-2":"Q","Finely Stranded With Core End Processing":"2x (0.5 ... 2.5 mm²)","Number Of Poles For Main Current Circuit":"4","Product Function Short Circuit Protection":"No","mirror contact according to IEC 60947-4-1":"Yes; with 3RH29","Finely Stranded Without Core End Processing":"2x (0.5 ... 2.5 mm²)","Type Of Voltage Of The Control Supply Voltage":"AC","Limited To 1 S Switching At Zero Current Maximum":"Use minimum cross-section acc. to AC-1 rated value","Limited To 5 S Switching At Zero Current Maximum":"Use minimum cross-section acc. to AC-1 rated value","Limited To 10 S Switching At Zero Current Maximum":"Use minimum cross-section acc. to AC-1 rated value","Limited To 30 S Switching At Zero Current Maximum":"Use minimum cross-section acc. to AC-1 rated value","Limited To 60 S Switching At Zero Current Maximum":"Use minimum cross-section acc. to AC-1 rated value","Of Main Circuit With Degree Of Pollution 3 Rated Value":"690 V","Installation Altitude At Height Above Sea Level Maximum":"2 000 m","Of The Contactor With Added Auxiliary Switch Block Typical":"10 000 000","For Short-Circuit Protection Of The Auxiliary Switch Required":"gG: 10 A (690 V, 1 kA)","minimum cross-section in main circuit at maximum AC-1 rated value":"2.5 mm²","Of The Auxiliary And Control Circuit With Degree Of Pollution 3 Rated Value":"690 V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/721bcfe105878777c1bd21ac7004a5b7.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=92616&mlfb=3RT2316-2AF00"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the wiring capacity on the main terminals?","answer":"No ferrule requirement, but stranded wire benefits from a ferrule for consistent insertion."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3RT2316-2AF00","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3RT2316-2AF00 when reusing this data.
