It carries 3 normally-open instantaneous contacts rated 10 A at AC-12 (resistive loads up to 400 V), which is the current it can make and break reliably in control circuits like PLC outputs, relay coils, or indicator lamps.
Size S00 frame — 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, 72 mm deep — fits standard DIN-rail enclosures and mates with Siemens S00 contactors (e.g., 3RT1015 or 3RT1016 series) for a ganged auxiliary block. Wire capacity: accepts 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² solid conductors per terminal. Side clearance is 0 mm — zero gap required between adjacent devices — so it packs tight on the rail without derating for heat buildup in normal control loads.
Electrical ratings and environment
The 3 NO contacts are instantaneous only — no leading, lagging, delayed, or make-before-break options on this variant. AC-12 switching capacity at 230 V is 6 A, at 400 V is 3 A, and at 690 V is 1 A. For DC control circuits, the contacts handle 10 A at 24 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.27 A at 220 V — the DC ratings drop sharply with voltage due to arc extinction limits. Shock resistance: 10g / 5 ms and 5g / 10 ms. Maximum operating altitude 2 000 m without derating.
