The VW3AE0206: The 230 V AC supply voltage is the coil rating — the contactor's control circuit must be fed from a 230 V AC source, not 24 V DC or 400 V. The Altivar 71 Plus and 61 Plus floor-standing enclosures have a specific mounting provision for this line contactor; it is not a general-purpose DIN-rail part. If you are retrofitting a drive that originally shipped with this contactor, verify the enclosure variant (separate air flows vs. compact) matches the accessory destination.

What replaces VW3AE0206?
The manufacturer has not published an official successor order code for this part.
