Product details

It mounts on 35 mm or 75 mm standard DIN rail with a screw-and-snap-on fastening method, so it integrates into existing panel layouts without extra brackets. Rated at 55 kW at 400 V in AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motors) and 45 kW at 400 V in AC-2 duty (slip-ring motors), it handles the heavy switching cycles common on conveyor drives, pumps, and compressors.

Main circuit terminals accept solid conductors from 0.5 mm² up to 16 mm² (two per clamp) and stranded conductors from 10 mm² to 50 mm². The screw-type terminals are the standard choice for panel builders who prefer a proven, torque-controlled connection over spring-cage alternatives.

The contactor carries an IP20 rating on the front with a cover or box terminal; the terminal area itself is IP00, so it requires enclosure protection in dusty or wet environments. Storage temperature spans -55 °C to +80 °C. RoHS compliance date is May 1, 2012, covering the EU RoHS scope.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for 3RT1046-1AD00?

The contactor is rated 55 kW at 400 V in AC-3 duty, 45 kW at 400 V in AC-2 duty, and 80 A at 400 V in AC-4 duty. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to +60 °C.

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RT1046-1AD00?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through our independent distribution channels — no automated price or lead time is published.

Will 3RT1046-1AD00 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1044-1FB46?

The 3RT1046-1AD00 is a larger S3 frame (55 kW AC-3) versus the 3RT1044-1FB46, which is a different frame size and coil voltage. Physical dimensions and terminal spacing differ; you would need to verify panel cutouts and wiring clearance before substituting.
