The main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals, accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded copper — no screw torquing, no loosening over time from vibration on a conveyor or pump skid.
If you're sourcing this for a line-down situation or a freeze on a legacy BOM, the active status means you're not hunting surplus or paying a broker premium. We quote to order against an RFQ with the usual lead time for Siemens SIRIUS gear.
The 60 mm height fits under standard 80 mm tall terminal blocks. The front face carries IP20 finger-safe protection, so you can work in the panel with the cover off without exposed live parts at the contactor. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, which saves rail space when ganging multiple contactors for a reversing or star-delta starter. The 24 V DC coil holds at 10 A rated current — that's the inrush to pull the armature in; the holding current is lower. The coil's switching frequency typical of 30,000,000 operations means it'll outlast most machinery refreshes on a simple pump or fan start.
For Type 1 coordination (no weld prevention, just no fire risk), the required upstream fuse is gL/gG 35 A. That's the fuse size at the feeder, not the overload relay setting — the overload relay protects the motor, the fuse protects the contactor under a short circuit.
