Product details

It carries a 24 V DC coil with an integrated diode surge suppressor, so the coil drive circuit needs only a simple DC supply — no external flyback diode required across the coil terminals. Rated for AC-3 duty at 5.5 kW on a 690 V three-phase supply, it handles the most common European motor voltages up to that level. The spring-loaded terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG), which matches standard panel wiring practice for a contactor of this frame size.

Side-by-side mounting is permitted, but a 6 mm clearance to adjacent equipment is recommended for thermal derating in continuous duty.

The 24 V DC coil picks up at 85% of rated voltage (20.4 V) and holds at 1.4 W, both closing and holding. The built-in diode surge suppressor eliminates the need for external coil suppression, simplifying wiring and reducing panel clutter. One instantaneous auxiliary contact is included, configurable as normally open or normally closed depending on wiring. This is enough for a feedback signal to a PLC or a status lamp, but for more aux contacts an add-on block is needed.

Protection and coordination

For Type 1 coordination (contactor may need replacement after a fault), a 35 A gL/gG fuse is permitted. These values let the panel designer size the upstream protection without guesswork.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to the 3RT1016-2VB41?

The 3RT1016-2AP02 is a peer in the same S00 frame size and similar current class, but it uses an AC coil (230 V AC) instead of the 24 V DC coil with diode suppression on the 2VB41. The physical footprint and terminal layout are identical, so a panel designed for the 2AP02 can accept the 2VB41 without rewiring the power circuit, but the coil supply must be changed from AC to 24 V DC.

What are the key ratings for the 3RT1016-2VB41?

Rated control supply voltage is 24 V DC. Motor ratings: 5.5 kW at 690 V AC-3, 4.5 kW at 500 V AC-3, 4 kW at 400 V AC-2. AC-4 rating is 8.5 A at 400 V. AC-12 maximum operating current is 10 A. Coil closing and holding power is 1.4 W DC.

What compliance documentation is available for the 3RT1016-2VB41?

The part carries IP20 protection (front and terminals), pollution degree 3, and is designed for 35 mm DIN rail mounting per EN 50022. Standard Siemens SIRIUS documentation includes CE, UL, and CSA certifications, though specific cert numbers are not listed in this record.

Will the 3RT1016-2VB41 drop into a panel designed for the 3RT1016-2AP02?

Yes, the mechanical footprint and terminal layout are identical — both are S00 frame size with spring-loaded terminals on the same pitch. The only difference is the coil: the 2AP02 uses 230 V AC, while the 2VB41 uses 24 V DC with a built-in diode. The power circuit wiring is a direct swap; the control circuit must be rewired for 24 V DC.
