Product details

SIRIUS 3RT1016-2BW42 — 24 VDC Coil Power Contactor, Size S00

Spring-loaded terminals on the main current circuit accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors, reducing wiring time compared to screw-clamp variants. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure protects personnel during panel access.

Switching Capacity and Motor Duty

Switching capacity varies by voltage: at 24 V it handles 10 A, at 60 V it handles 2 A, at 110 V it handles 1 A, and at 220 V it handles 0.3 A — these are the DC-12/DC-13 style ratings for resistive and inductive DC loads. For AC motor duty, the contactor is rated at 4.5 kW at 400 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V in AC-3 utilization category (standard squirrel-cage motor starting). In AC-2 duty (slip-ring motors) at 400 V it's rated 4 kW. For AC-4 duty (plugging/inching) at 400 V it carries 8.5 A. The AC-12 maximum operating current is 10 A for resistive loads. These values guide the upstream protection device selection.

The 45 mm wide, 60 mm tall, 73 mm deep S00 frame allows side-by-side mounting without derating.

The part carries the Siemens SIRIUS brand and is referenced as Q per DIN EN 81346-2.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to 3RT1016-2BW42?

The 3RT1016-2AP02 is a peer variant with the same S00 frame and spring-loaded terminals, but uses a 230 V AC coil instead of 24 V DC. It drops into the same panel footprint without rewiring the power circuit, though the coil supply must match.

What compliance documentation is available for 3RT1016-2BW42?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, this contactor carries CE marking for the European market. Specific RoHS, REACH, and UL documentation is provided with the shipment upon request.

Where can I buy 3RT1016-2BW42 and get current pricing?

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 your quantity and delivery timeline.
