Mounting and panel integration
Mounts by screw or snap-on onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. The S00 contactor size keeps the footprint compact — 45 mm wide, 58 mm tall, 73 mm deep. Clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, 6 mm at the side. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, so you can gang multiple relays without extra spacing — useful for dense railway control panels where every millimeter counts. The mounting position is flexible: +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface, plus +/-22.5° tilt forward/backward, or standing on a horizontal surface.
Wiring and termination
Terminals accept solid or stranded copper: 2x 0.5–1.5 mm², 2x 0.75–2.5 mm², or a single 2x 4 mm². That covers standard panel wire up to 12 AWG. Coil power draw: 4.5 W closing, 0.75 W holding — the holding power is low enough that a 24 VDC control supply can run several relays without overloading a small PSU.
Lifecycle and compliance
The lifecycle stage is listed as 'current', meaning Siemens still manufactures and supports this order code — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is active. The substance prohibition date of 10/01/2009 aligns with the original RoHS compliance deadline; the part meets RoHS and REACH requirements for railway equipment. Operating temperature range: -40 to +70 °C; storage: -55 to +80 °C — covers the full EN 50155 T1/T2 class range.
