Product details

The 45 kW AC-2 at 400 V rating tells you it handles wound-rotor motors or slip-ring applications where the load current stays near the motor rating during acceleration — a common fit for crane or conveyor drives. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept stranded conductors up to 2x 50 mm² and solid up to 2x 4 mm², so it lands comfortably on a 35 mm² motor cable without lug adapters. The IP20 front with cover or box terminal means the panel builder can leave the front exposed inside a locked enclosure — no extra shrouding needed. No need to gut the whole line — meet it where it is.

The part carries a substance prohibitance date of 05/01/2012, which aligns with RoHS compliance.

Integration notes

Dimensions are 146 mm high, 70 mm wide, 139 mm deep. Maximum switching frequency at AC-3 is 850 cycles per hour, which is adequate for most conveyor and pump cycling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT1046-1AS00?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a smaller Size S2 contactor, so it won't drop into the same footprint without rewiring — the 3RT1046-1AS00 is a Size S3 with higher AC-2 and AC-4 ratings. If you need a direct S3 alternative, the 3RT5046-1BM40 is the newer SIRIUS 3RT5 generation, which shares the same rail mounting and terminal layout but uses a different coil voltage (230 V AC vs 24 V DC on this part). Verify coil compatibility before swapping.

Where can I buy 3RT1046-1AS00 and how is it quoted?

We source this part through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ — no stock count or lead-time number is published here.
