Product details

It switches motor loads up to 5.5 kW at 690 V AC-3, with a 230 V coil rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

The 5.5 kW at 690 V AC-3 rating is the motor-switching duty — that's the number to match against your motor nameplate for a standard squirrel-cage induction motor. For the same motor on 400 V, the AC-3 rating drops to 4.5 kW. If your load involves plugging or inching (AC-4 duty), the contactor is rated 8.5 A at 400 V — significantly lower than the AC-3 current, so size up if you need frequent reversing or jogging. The 230 V coil pulls in reliably across 0.8 to 1.1 times rated voltage at 50 Hz, and 0.85 to 1.1 at 60 Hz. That means it holds in down to about 184 V at 50 Hz — useful if your control transformer is lightly loaded or you have long cable runs. Rated for pollution degree 3 and operating temperature -25 to +60 °C, so it's at home in an industrial panel without climate control. The 2000 m maximum altitude rating covers most installations without derating.

The screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) per pole. That covers most panel wiring from signal-level control wires up to 4 mm² power tails. The depth is 114 mm, so plan for at least 120 mm of enclosure depth to clear the terminals and any auxiliary block.

The auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC built-in) are rated 10 A at AC-12 for control-circuit loads, and derate to 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V DC.

Frequently asked questions

What is the depth of this contactor?

The depth is 114 mm, which is the dimension from the DIN rail mounting surface to the front of the terminals.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The main screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded wire.

Will 3RT1016-1AP05 drop into a panel wired for 3RT1016-2AP02?

Both are size S00 with the same 45 mm width and 35 mm DIN rail mounting, so the mechanical footprint is identical. The 3RT1016-1AP05 uses screw terminals, while the 2AP02 variant uses spring-cage terminals — the wiring method differs, but the panel layout and rail position are the same.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet relevant IEC/EN standards. Specific declarations (RoHS, REACH, UL) are available from Siemens upon request — the evidence does not list individual certification numbers.
