Product details

The coil is rated 24 VDC and includes a built-in diode surge suppressor, so you don't need an external flyback diode across the coil terminals — the holding power is a steady 1.4 W, which keeps heat dissipation low in a crowded enclosure. Switching capacity covers a range of motor duties: at AC-3 (standard motor start/run) it handles 3.5 kW at 500 V and 4 kW at 690 V. For resistive loads (AC-1) the maximum operating current is 10 A at 24 V and 6 A at 230 V. The contactor is also rated for AC-4 (plugging/reversing) at 6.5 A at 400 V.

Main power terminals are screw-type, accepting 2 x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2 x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2 x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded conductors. AWG equivalents are 2 x (20 to 16), 2 x (18 to 14), and 1 x 12. Short-circuit protection: with Type 1 coordination, use a gL/gG fuse rated up to 35 A. This matters when you're coordinating with upstream breakers in a motor control center. No special conformal coating required for typical panel use.

The 24 VDC coil with diode suppression is a common variant, and the S00 frame is widely used in light industrial control.

Frequently asked questions

What is the depth of this contactor?

The depth is 72 mm, measured from the mounting surface to the front of the device.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The main circuit screw terminals accept 2 x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2 x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2 x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded. AWG equivalents are 2 x (20 to 16), 2 x (18 to 14), and 1 x 12.

Will 3RT1015-1VB42 drop into a panel designed for 3RT1015-1BB42 without rewiring?

Yes, the mechanical dimensions are identical (same S00 frame, same 45 mm width, same DIN-rail clip). The terminal layout and wire acceptance are the same. The only difference is the coil voltage type — if the panel provides 24 VDC, this part is a direct swap.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

As a standard Siemens SIRIUS product, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet IEC/EN 60947-4-1. UL and CSA listings are typical for the series, though the specific certification numbers are not in this record. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Siemens upon request.
