Product details

SIRIUS S3 power contactor — 3RT1046-3AR60

The Siemens 3RT1046-3AR60 is a SIRIUS S3 power contactor with screw-type terminals, sized for motor switching in industrial control panels. It mounts on 35 mm or 75 mm standard DIN rail via screw and snap-on fastening, occupying a 70 mm width on the rail. Rated for 50/60 Hz operation, the contactor carries AC-3 motor switching duty up to 850 operations per hour, and AC-1 resistive loads at 900 ops/h.

Main current circuit terminals accept stranded conductors from 10 mm² up to 50 mm² (2x), or solid conductors from 0.25 mm² to 2.5 mm² (2x) for the control circuit. The screw-type terminals are rated IP00 at the connection point, while the front of the contactor carries IP20 protection with the cover or box terminal installed.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1046-3AR60?

The part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest alternative to 3RT1046-3AR60?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a smaller-frame SIRIUS contactor but does not share the same S3 frame size or terminal capacity — it will not drop into a panel specified around the 3RT1046-3AR60 without rewiring and a different footprint.

What compliance documentation does this part carry?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, the 3RT1046-3AR60 is designed to meet applicable IEC, UL, and CSA standards for industrial control equipment, with RoHS and REACH compliance documentation available through the manufacturer.
