The 110 VDC coil pulls 3.3 W on close and hold, so the power supply doesn't need a big inrush buffer. At 400 V AC-3 duty it's rated for 4 kW motor load; at 690 V it handles 5.5 kW. AC-4 at 400 V gives 8.5 A for reversing or inching service, where the contacts take a harder hit. The three main poles are rated for 10 A at AC-12 (resistive), 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V. For DC switching, the coil-side auxiliary contacts handle 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. That's enough for most pilot-duty circuits, but watch the DC voltage curve if you're switching a solenoid valve bank. Screw-type terminals accept two conductors per clamp: 0.5 to 1.5 mm² solid, 0.75 to 2.5 mm² stranded, or a single 4 mm². AWG equivalents are 2x 20-16, 2x 18-14, or 1x 12. That covers most panel wiring without needing ferrules, though stranded always benefits from them. IP20 on the front and terminals keeps fingers out but doesn't stop water — mount it inside a cabinet, not out in the washdown.

Frequently asked questions
What are the key ratings for this contactor?
It's a Size S00 3-pole power contactor with a 110 VDC coil. At 400 V AC-3 it's rated for 4 kW motor load; at 690 V AC-3 it handles 5.5 kW. Mechanical life is 30 million operations. Screw terminals accept up to 4 mm² per pole.
Will the 3RT1016-1BF45-ZX95 drop into a panel designed for the 3RT1015-1BB42?
Both are Size S00 contactors with the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the footprint and terminal layout are the same. The main difference is the coil voltage: the ZX95 uses 110 VDC, while the 1BB42 uses 24 VDC. If the panel's control voltage is 110 VDC, it's a direct swap without rewiring the power circuit.
