Product details

Rated for AC-3 duty, it handles 4.5 kW at 500 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V — the figures that govern real motor switching on a pump, conveyor, or fan.

The 42 VDC coil pulls 3.3 W during both closing and holding — a single figure that simplifies the DC supply sizing. Pick-up is guaranteed at 85 % of rated voltage (0.85 x 42 V = 35.7 V), and the dropout margin sits at 1.1 times rated (46.2 V), which means the contactor stays latched through a moderate dip on the control bus. For the main contacts, the AC-3 motor-switching ratings are the ones that matter: 4 kW at 400 V, 4.5 kW at 500 V, and 5.5 kW at 690 V. For resistive or general-purpose loads (AC-1 / AC-12), the maximum operating current is 10 A. Short-circuit coordination is specified: type 1 requires a 35 A gL/gG fuse; type 2 requires a 20 A gL/gG fuse. That matters for selectivity studies and SCCR compliance in the panel.

Dimensions are 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm high, 72 mm deep — the S00 footprint that fits standard 45 mm-wide contactor slots. Side-by-side mounting is allowed with zero gap, so no derating for packing density in a multi-contactor group. The screw terminals accept solid or stranded copper: 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75...4 mm²). AWG equivalents are 2x (20...16), 2x (18...14), and 1x 12. The front face carries IP20; the terminals themselves are IP20 — safe for finger-probe access inside a closed panel.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key motor ratings for 3RT1016-1BD42?

In AC-3 duty, it switches 4 kW at 400 V, 4.5 kW at 500 V, and 5.5 kW at 690 V. The AC-4 rating at 400 V is 8.5 A for plugging and inching applications.

What is the coil voltage and power draw for 3RT1016-1BD42?

The coil is rated 42 VDC and draws 3.3 W for both closing and holding. Pick-up is at 85 % of rated voltage (35.7 V), dropout at 110 % (46.2 V).

How do I get pricing and availability for 3RT1016-1BD42?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

Will 3RT1016-1BD42 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1016-1AG61?

Both share the S00 frame size and the same DIN-rail footprint (45 mm wide, 57.5 mm high, 72 mm deep). The main difference is the coil voltage: the 1BD42 uses 42 VDC, while the 1AG61 uses a different coil voltage. If the control circuit matches 42 VDC, it is a direct mechanical swap — no rewiring of the power circuit needed.
