Product details

Terminals and wiring — field-serviceable

Both main and auxiliary/control circuits use spring-loaded terminals. That means no screwdriver torque check, no vibration loosening — just strip, push, and go. The main contacts accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG). Auxiliary contacts take the same gauge range. If you're replacing a screw-terminal contactor, the spring cage is a nice upgrade for reliability in a high-vibration panel.

Ratings that matter for motor control

AC-4 at 8.5 A handles the high-stress inching and plugging duty where the contacts take the full locked-rotor current. The auxiliary contacts are rated for 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 6 A at 230 V — enough for most PLC or relay interface circuits.

Coordination and environment

Type 2 coordination (no welding after a short circuit) requires a 20 A gL/gG fuse; Type 1 (allow welding, but no fire risk) takes a 35 A fuse. That's a standard selection — your panel designer likely already has those on the BOM. Pollution degree 3 means it's suitable for conductive environments like a typical control room or light industrial floor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to the 3RT1017-2AN21?

The 3RT1017-1AP01 is a close sibling in the same SIRIUS S00 size. The key difference is the 1AP01 uses screw terminals on the main circuit, while the 2AN21 uses spring-loaded terminals. If your panel is wired for screw terminals, the 1AP01 drops in without re-terminating. The 2AN21's spring cage is a better fit if you want vibration-proof connections or faster wiring.

What is the depth of the 3RT1017-2AN21?

The depth is 73 mm. Width is 45 mm, height is 60 mm. That's the standard S00 footprint, so it fits the same DIN-rail space as other S00 contactors.

What wire sizes does the 3RT1017-2AN21 accept?

Main and auxiliary terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG). Spring-loaded terminals — no screw torque needed.

Will the 3RT1017-2AN21 drop into a panel designed for the 3RT1017-1AP01?

Physically, yes — same S00 footprint, same DIN-rail mounting, same width/height/depth. The only difference is the wiring method: the 2AN21 uses spring-loaded terminals, while the 1AP01 uses screw terminals. If your panel is already wired with ferrules or solid wires stripped to the right length, the spring cage will accept them. If the existing wires are terminated with ring or fork terminals meant for screw clamps, you'll need to re-terminate or switch to the 1AP01.
