12 A AC-3 motor switching, 24 V DC coil — panel-fit constraints
The 3RA2120-1KE24-0BB4: The control coil is 24 V DC — a common PLC output level — so it drops into a 24 VDC control circuit without an interposing relay. The S0 frame size (45 mm wide, 243 mm tall, 107 mm deep) fits standard 35 mm DIN-rail panels; allow 50 mm above and 20 mm in front for ventilation and wiring access.
The assembly ships with the contactor (3RT2024-2BB40) and link module (3RA2921-2AA00) pre-configured; main-circuit connections use spring-loaded terminals for tool-less wiring.
Motor sizing across voltage ranges
At 460/480 V it handles 7.5 hp; at 575/600 V it handles 10 hp — covering the common North American motor voltages in a single starter variant. For 230 V systems, it's rated 3 hp; for 110/120 V, 0.75 hp — useful for retrofit into legacy panels with mixed voltage feeds.
