It uses spring-cage terminals (2x 0.5–4 mm² solid/stranded) and snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022. Operating range is -25 to +60 °C; storage from -55 to +80 °C. The 45 mm wide body (70 mm height, 73 mm depth) fits tightly in a standard panel layout — side-by-side mounting is allowed with 6 mm clearance to adjacent devices. Mounting position is flexible: ±180° rotation on a vertical surface, or tilted ±22.5° forward/backward. ## Wiring & integration Spring-cage terminals accept 0.5–4 mm² solid or ferruled stranded wire — strip length 8–10 mm. The auxiliary switch block is present. Coil draws 0.25 A at 50/60 Hz. Mechanical life typical 30 million operations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2516-2AP60 SIRIUS Contactor, 24 VDC 10 A, S00 Siz","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2516-2AP60 SIRIUS contactor, size S00, 24 VDC coil rated 10 A.
