For reversing or plugging duty (AC-4), it carries 15.5 A at 400 V — the rating that governs contact life under high electrical stress, not the AC-3 figure. The main circuit uses screw-type terminals accepting 2x (1 to 2.5 mm²) stranded, 2x (2.5 to 6 mm²), or a single 10 mm² conductor. Auxiliary contacts accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid, with a max of 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). This wire range covers standard motor leads and control wiring without adapters.
The 35 A limit is the one to design around if the panel must survive a fault without component replacement. Pollution degree 3 (conductive or dry non-conductive pollution) suits it for industrial environments where humidity and dust are present.
Coil and auxiliary contact ratings
The DC magnet coil draws 5.4 W during both closing and holding — no power reduction after pick-up, so the control transformer must supply continuous 5.4 W per contactor. Auxiliary contacts are rated across multiple voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V DC. The 24 V DC rating (10 A) is the one to use for PLC output interfacing.
Environmental limits
Maximum installation altitude is 2 000 m above sea level.
