Power wiring accepts stranded conductors from 16 to 70 mm². The auxiliary circuit uses screw-type terminals accepting 2x 0.5–1.5 mm² solid or 2x 0.75–2.5 mm² stranded, max 2x 4 mm².
Duty-cycle capability — the rating that governs real use
Maximum switching frequency: 800 operations/hour in AC-1, 400 in AC-2, 1,000 in AC-3, 130 in AC-4. AC-3e rating also at 1,000 ops/h. Arcing time runs 10–15 ms; total opening time (including arc extinction) is 40–60 ms for both AC and DC coils.
Auxiliary contact capacity
Built-in auxiliary switch rated for 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48/60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. These are the continuous current limits for the auxiliary contacts feeding PLC inputs, indicator lamps, or interlocking relays.
Environmental and clearance
These are the free-air spacing requirements for heat dissipation and arc flash — a panel layout that crowds the contactor below these distances will derate the switching capacity.
