Where it goes and how it mounts
Snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022, or you can screw-mount it. At 45 mm wide and 57.5 mm tall, it fits a standard 45 mm slot in a modular panel layout — no surprises for the wireman laying out the gland plate. Side-by-side mounting is allowed without derating, and the 6 mm clearance to adjacent devices is the minimum for air circulation and arc containment. The IP20 finger-safe front and terminals mean it's meant for enclosed panels, not washdown zones. Terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid or stranded, 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x 4 mm². The AWG equivalent is 2x 20–16, 2x 18–14, or 1x 12 — plenty of room for standard panel wire without fighting the lug.
Switching capacity across the voltage range
The contactor's main contacts carry different current ratings depending on the load voltage and duty cycle. At 24 V it's rated 10 A, at 230 V it's 6 A, and at 400 V it's 3 A. For motor power at 690 V, it's rated 5.5 kW — that's a solid number for a small-frame contactor on a 690 V line. For DC switching at 60 V it's rated 2 A, at 110 V it's 1 A, and at 220 V it drops to 0.3 A. If you're switching DC loads, the 220 V rating is the one to watch — it's a hard limit, not a suggestion.
