The main contacts are spring-loaded terminals, accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG). This means no screw torque to verify — the wire pushes in and the cage clamps it.
Rated for AC-3 duty at 5.5 kW at both 500 V and 690 V — this is the motor-switching rating that governs most pump, fan, and conveyor applications. AC-2 at 400 V also carries 5.5 kW, for slip-ring motor starting. For resistive loads (AC-12), the maximum operating current is 10 A. The coil operates at 50/60 Hz with a voltage tolerance of 0.85 to 1.1 times rated, so a 24 VDC coil holds reliably from about 20.4 V to 26.4 V. Mechanical life is 30 million cycles typical, meaning this contactor outlasts most equipment refreshes in a standard switching schedule.
Integration and mounting details
Dimensions: 45 mm wide, 60 mm high, 73 mm deep. Side-by-side mounting is permitted with no derating gap — you can pack S00 contactors tight on the rail. The front face carries IP20 finger protection; the terminals are also IP20, so the panel interior is touch-safe without additional shrouds. For short-circuit coordination, Type 1 requires a 35 A gL/gG fuse; Type 2 requires a 20 A gL/gG fuse — this matters for selectivity studies on the panel's feeder breaker.
