That 60 °C derating curve matters: if your panel ambient runs cooler, you get headroom; if it pushes above 60 °C, you need to downrate further per the thermal curve. Coil draws 6 A at 24 V rated value, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — verify your control transformer sizing against the inrush, especially on long cable runs where voltage drop at pickup can cause chatter. Substance prohibitance compliance date is 05/01/2012, aligning with RoHS and REACH requirements for the European market. Main circuit terminals accept screw-type connections for 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² solid/stranded, plus AWG equivalents 2x (20-16), 2x (18-14), 2x 12. Minimum conductor sizes at 40 °C is 4 mm²; at 60 °C it's 2.5 mm² — the higher ambient requires thicker wire to keep terminal temperatures within limits. Dimensions are 73 mm deep, 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall — the S00 footprint. The auxiliary switch extension is available (product extension auxiliary switch: yes), so you can add a side-mount block for status feedback without increasing the width beyond the standard 45 mm slot. ## Switching frequency & mechanical life Switching frequency limits: 1,000 1/h at AC-1 (resistive loads), 750 1/h at AC-3 and AC-3e (motor starting), 250 1/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching), and 10,000 1/h at DC.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT6016-1BM42 SIRIUS Power Contactor, Size S00, 690","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT6016-1BM42 SIRIUS power contactor, size S00, rated 690 V AC-3/AC-3e, 7.5 kW at 230 V, 13 kW at 400 V, 22 kW at 690 V (60 °C).

The difference is in the current rating: the 3RT6017-1KF42 is a higher-rated frame. Verify your load current against the 3RT6016-1BM42's AC-3 rating before substituting — it is not a direct form-fit-function replacement if your motor exceeds the lower unit's capacity."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT6016-1BM42?","answer":"The part carries a substance prohibitance compliance date of 05/01/2012, covering RoHS and REACH.
