Product details

The coil pulls in at 24 VDC and the contactor is rated to switch 4 kW at 400 V under AC-2 duty (slip-ring motor starting), and 8.5 A under AC-4 (reversing or inching duty).

AC-2 at 400 V is rated 4 kW — that's the motor power you can reliably switch for slip-ring or wound-rotor motors. AC-4 at 400 V is rated 8.5 A, which covers reversing and inching duty. For resistive loads (AC-12), the maximum operating current is 10 A. For Type 1 coordination (contactor may need replacement after fault), you can go up to 35 A gL/gG. That's the standard for most control panels that aren't in a clean room — no special derating needed for a typical factory floor install. Mechanical endurance is listed at 30 million operating cycles typical. That's the mechanical life of the contactor — the number of times the armature can open and close before wear. Electrical life will be lower and depends on the load current and switching frequency, but 30 million cycles means this contactor will outlast most machines in the panel.

Mounting and integration notes

The S00 frame is 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, and 72 mm deep — that's a compact footprint that leaves room for aux contact blocks or a solid-state overload relay alongside it on the rail. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, with a 6 mm clearance to adjacent devices on the side. Front protection is IP20, so the terminals are finger-safe once the panel door is closed. Wire sizes for the main circuit: accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded. For AWG, that's 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), or 1x 12. The screw terminals are the standard box-clamp type — strip about 8 mm, torque to the value on the nameplate, and you're done.

Ambient temperature range during operation is -25 to +60 °C. Frequency tolerance is 0.85 to 1.1 of rated value at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, so it's fine on either supply frequency without adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for the 3RT1016-1AR61?

The 3RT1016-2AP02 is a peer in the same S00 frame size, but it uses a 24 VAC/DC coil instead of the 24 VDC-only coil on the -1AR61. The AC-2 and AC-4 ratings are similar, but verify the coil voltage compatibility for your control circuit before substituting — if your panel supplies 24 VAC, the -1AR61 won't pull in.

What is the depth of the 3RT1016-1AR61?

The depth is 72 mm. Overall dimensions are 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, and 72 mm deep for the S00 frame.

What wire sizes does the 3RT1016-1AR61 accept?

The screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded. In AWG: 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), or 1x 12.

Will the 3RT1016-1AR61 drop into a panel specified around the 3RT1016-2AP02?

Yes, mechanically and electrically it's a direct fit — same S00 frame, same DIN rail footprint, same terminal layout. The only difference is the coil: the -1AR61 is 24 VDC only, while the -2AP02 accepts 24 VAC/DC. If your panel supplies 24 VDC, it's a drop-in replacement without rewiring.
