It carries 2 normally open (NO) instantaneous contacts rated 10 A at AC-12 (resistive load) and 10 A at 24 V, with a mechanical endurance of 30,000,000 operating cycles. Pollution degree 3 (industrial environment) and an IP20 rating on the front mean it's suited for enclosed control panels where condensation and conductive dust are managed.
The 10 A AC-12 rating is the key figure for resistive control loads — pilot lights, relays, PLC inputs. For inductive loads like contactor coils, the switching capacity drops significantly: at 230 V AC-15 (typical for contactor coils) the rated current is 6 A, and at 400 V it's 3 A. The 24 V DC rating of 10 A is for resistive DC loads; at 110 V DC it drops to 1 A, and at 220 V DC to 0.27 A. These derated values are the ones that govern real-world coil switching, not the headline 10 A. The 2 NO contacts are instantaneous (no make-before-break or delayed switching), so this contactor provides straightforward on/off control without overlapping transitions. The auxiliary switch designation means it's intended to signal the state of a main contactor or perform logic-level switching in a control circuit.
The S00 form factor matches the footprint of Siemens 3RT2 and 3RT1 contactor series for mechanical interlocking and common bus-bar systems. Screw terminals accept solid conductors: 2x 0.5–1.5 mm², 2x 0.75–2.5 mm², or 2x 4 mm² per clamp. The 0 mm side clearance allows side-by-side mounting without derating, saving rail space in dense panels. Shock resistance is rated at 10g for 5 ms and 5g for 10 ms, which covers most industrial vibration profiles from conveyors and pumps. The IP20 front protection means the terminals are touch-safe when installed in an IP54 or higher enclosure.
