Side-by-side mounting is allowed, which helps when you're packing multiple contactors into a tight panel row. The S3 frame keeps the footprint manageable at 70 mm wide by 146 mm tall by 139 mm deep.
Terminal and wiring
Main circuit terminals accept solid wire from 0.25 mm² up to 2.5 mm² in a dual-entry configuration, and stranded wire from 10 mm² up to 50 mm². That covers everything from control wiring to motor power leads without needing adapters. The front-facing terminals carry an IP20 rating with the cover box terminal installed — enough for basic finger protection inside a panel.
