Mounting and integration
The 3RT1045-1AN20: Fastens via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm and 75 mm standard mounting rail. Side-by-side mounting is permitted, so multiple contactors can pack tightly on the DIN rail without derating for proximity — useful when building a motor control center section. The IP20 rating on the front with cover or box terminal means the live parts are finger-safe once the cover is on; the terminal itself is IP00, so the wiring compartment must be inside an enclosure.
