Product details

Its rated control supply voltage of 21... 27.3 V DC means the coil holds in at 21 V and drops out below that — critical to verify your DC supply rail doesn't sag under load. The 10 A rated current at 24 V DC on the auxiliary contacts tells you the auxiliary circuit can handle a modest pilot-duty load, but the 1 A rating at 110 V DC is the real limit for DC inductive switching. Screw fixing and a vertical mounting surface with +/-90° rotation and +/-22.5° tilt gives panel builders flexibility in tight enclosures, but the 170 mm depth and 120 mm width demand a 200 mm deep cabinet minimum for cable bending radius.

Switching rates and duty cycles

The maximum operating rates tell you what this contactor can sustain thermally: 800 operations per hour in AC-1 resistive duty, 750 in AC-3 motor starting, but only 130 in AC-4 plugging/reversing. For a conveyor drive cycling every 30 seconds, AC-3 at 750 ops/h is comfortable; a press brake that reverses every 5 seconds exceeds the AC-4 limit and requires a larger frame or a dedicated reversing contactor pair. Arcing time of 10... 15 ms and operating times of 80... 90 ms (both AC and DC) are standard for this frame size. The 0.6 power factor at 50/60 Hz indicates the contactor is rated for motor loads with typical lagging PF — no derating needed for standard induction motors.

Main power terminals accept 25... 120 mm² stranded copper — that's a 2/0 AWG equivalent, sized for a 100+ A motor circuit. The coil terminals are spring-type, accepting 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, so you can daisy-chain the control wiring without ring terminals. Four 9 mm mounting holes on a screw-fixing pattern; spacing requires 10 mm clearance upwards, downwards, and to the side, plus 20 mm forwards for arc-chamber ventilation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1055-2NB36 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request for current pricing and availability.

What is the depth of 3RT1055-2NB36?

The depth is 170 mm, with an additional 20 mm forward clearance required for arc-chamber ventilation.

What conductor sizes does 3RT1055-2NB36 accept?

Main power terminals accept 25 to 120 mm² stranded copper. Coil terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded via spring-type connections.

Will 3RT1055-2NB36 drop into a panel built for 3RT1055-6QF35?

Both are size S6 SIRIUS contactors with the same mounting footprint and screw-fixing pattern, so physical fit is identical. The difference is the coil voltage — 3RT1055-2NB36 uses 21-27.3 V DC, while 3RT1055-6QF35 uses a different coil rating. Verify coil supply compatibility before swapping.
