The 690 V rated insulation voltage covers most 400 V and 480 V line-to-line systems with headroom for grounded-wye configurations. The S2 frame size determines the physical footprint and the maximum contactor current — expect this to handle motor currents typical of a 30 kW load at 500 V or 11.4 kW at 690 V. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept solid conductors from 2x 0.5 mm² up to 2x 4 mm² and stranded up to 2x 25 mm². That's enough for most motor feeder cables up to 6 AWG. The IP20 front means it's finger-safe once installed in a closed panel; the terminal area itself is IP00, so live parts are exposed during wiring — standard for panel-mount contactors. Mechanical life is typical at 10 million operations. Switching frequency ranges from 300 cycles/hour at AC-4 (the toughest motor inching/jogging duty) up to 1,000 cycles/hour at AC-1 (resistive loads). For a motor-starting application (AC-3), expect 800 cycles/hour.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest functional second-source?
The Siemens 3RT1036-1AB00 is a direct sibling in the same S2 frame size. The key difference is the coil voltage — the -1AP00 variant uses a different coil rating than the -1AB00. Verify coil voltage compatibility before substituting.
What is the depth of this contactor?
The depth is 115 mm. Combined with a width of 55 mm and height of 112 mm, it fits a standard 55 mm wide DIN-rail slot.
What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?
Solid conductors: 2x 0.5 to 1.5 mm², 2x 0.75 to 2.5 mm², max 2x 0.75 to 4 mm². Stranded: 2x 0.75 to 25 mm².
Will this drop into a panel designed for 3RT1036-1AB00?
Yes, same S2 frame size and mounting footprint. The physical dimensions and terminal layout are identical. The only difference is the coil — check that the coil voltage matches your control circuit.
