Product details

The coil pulls in on 200–277 V AC. Mechanical switching life is listed at 10 million operations typical, which puts it in the heavy-duty range for a contactor this size — expect it to outlast the machine it's in on cyclic loads like conveyors or pumps.

The contactor is rated for AC-3 maximum switching frequency of 750 operations per hour, and AC-4 at 130 operations per hour.

Mounting is screw fixing, not DIN rail snap-on. The contactor size S6 is physically large (172 mm high, 120 mm wide, 170 mm deep) — you're bolting this to a backplate, not clipping it onto a rail. That's tight for a part this size; plan your enclosure depth accordingly. The mounting position allows vertical surface mounting with ±90° rotation or ±22.5° tilt front-to-back, so panel layout isn't locked to one orientation.

Main power circuit terminals accept stranded wire from 25 mm² up to 120 mm² — that's a heavy lug range, consistent with a size S6 contactor rated for high current. That gives flexibility for daisy-chaining control power or feedback loops without extra terminal blocks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source — 3RT1055-6AU36?

The 3RT1055-6AU36 is a peer variant in the same SIRIUS size S6 family. The key difference is the coil voltage: the 3RT1055-6NP36 uses a 200–277 V AC coil, while the 3RT1055-6AU36 uses a different coil voltage. They share the same physical footprint and terminal layout, so panel fit is identical, but the control circuit voltage must match.

What is the depth of this contactor?

The depth is 170 mm.

What wire sizes does the control circuit accept?

The control circuit terminals accept solid or stranded wire: 2x (0.5–1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75–2.5 mm²), and max 2x (0.75–4 mm²).

Will 3RT1055-6NP36 drop into a panel specified for 3RT1055-6AU36 without rewiring?

Yes, the physical dimensions and mounting are identical between the two (same S6 frame, same screw fixing, same clearance requirements). The only difference is the coil voltage — if the panel's control circuit is 200–277 V AC, it drops in without rewiring.
