Product details

It lands in the SIRIUS family, the workhorse line for standard industrial automation across 400 V and 690 V networks. Termination is via spring-loaded terminals on the main current circuit, accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire — no screw torque, no re-tightening during thermal cycling. The contactor carries an integrated varistor surge suppressor across the coil, meaning you don't need to add a separate RC snubber for DC switching — the coil's closing and holding power both sit at 1.4 W DC, a steady draw that keeps the control transformer sizing predictable.

If your application cycles the motor on and off under full load (conveyor jog, crane inching), this is the number that governs contact life, not the AC-12 figure. Mechanical life is typical 30 million operations — that's the bare contactor without load. Electrical life will be lower and depends on the switching category and current; the AC-4 rating is where you'll see the shortest contact endurance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source — 3RT1015-1BB42?

The 3RT1015-1BB42 is a smaller S00 frame contactor (lower AC-12 rating) with screw terminals and a different coil voltage. It will not drop into the same panel without rewiring — the 3RT1016-2WB42 uses spring-loaded terminals and has a 24 VDC coil. For a direct functional swap within the same S00 footprint and spring-loaded termination, stay with the 3RT1016-2WB42.

What is the listed depth of this contactor?

The depth is 73 mm, width 45 mm, height 60 mm. It fits the standard S00 footprint on a 35 mm DIN rail.

What wire sizes does the spring-loaded terminal accept?

The main current circuit terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG).

Will the 3RT1016-2WB42 drop into a panel specified around the 3RT1015-1BB42?

Mechanically yes — both are S00 frame, same DIN rail footprint. Electrically no — the 3RT1016-2WB42 has a 24 VDC coil and spring-loaded terminals; the 3RT1015-1BB42 may have a different coil voltage and screw terminals. Verify the coil voltage and terminal type before swapping.
