This is the rating that governs the real-world motor load it can handle — the 9 A figure is the thermal continuous current, while the 4 kW AC-3 rating defines the making and breaking capability for squirrel-cage motors under full load. The main current circuit and the magnet coil are both terminated with spring-loaded terminals (cage-clamp style), accepting solid conductors 2x (0.5... 2.5 mm²) and stranded 0.5... 4 mm². This eliminates the need for periodic screw-torque checks under vibration — a fit-and-forget connection for panel builders. ## Mounting and integration – 45 mm wide on 35 mm DIN rail The contactor fastens via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, occupying a 45 mm width — a standard 1.5 module footprint on the rail. The mounting position allows +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface and can be tilted forward/backward by +/-22.5°, giving layout flexibility in crowded panels. Side-by-side mounting is permitted with a clearance of 6 mm at the side and 10 mm in all axial directions (upwards, downwards, forwards). This spacing ensures adequate airflow for the 4.4 W power dissipation at AC in hot operating state, keeping the contactor within its -25 to +60 °C operating range. ## Lifecycle and sourcing – active production, quoted to order The part carries a RoHS substance prohibitance date of 10/01/2009, confirming compliance with EU RoHS directives. No UL, CSA, or other agency marks are listed in the available spec record — verify jurisdiction-specific approvals against the full product certificate if required for your panel certification.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2316-2AP60 SIRIUS Contactor, 9 A, 4 kW AC-3","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS contactor 3RT2316-2AP60, size S00, 9 A at 400 V, 4 kW AC-3 motor load.
