The Siemens 3RT1023-3BB40-ZX95 is a SIRIUS power contactor in the Size S0 frame — the compact workhorse for motor switching in control panels up to 4 kW at 400 V AC-2 duty. The 24 V DC coil pulls 5.4 W on close and holds at the same power, so no extra hold-in resistor needed.
The 45 mm width and 85 mm height leave room for a three-phase feed-through and an auxiliary contact block on the side. Side-by-side mounting is allowed — no derating gap needed for standard resistive loads, though the 6 mm side clearance is the minimum for airflow.
AC-4 at 400 V is 8.5 A, for reversing or inching duty where the contacts see full locked-rotor current each time. The DC coil ratings (10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V) cover auxiliary interposing relays and PLC outputs.
