Product details

It mounts via screw fixing with four 9 mm holes and accepts power cables from 25 to 120 mm² stranded. Auxiliary switch included; its terminals accept 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²) stranded, max 2x (0.75... 4 mm²). Electrical endurance: maximum operating rate at AC-3 is 750 cycles per hour; at AC-1 (resistive loads) 800 cycles/h; at AC-4 (inching/jogging) 130 cycles/h. Mechanical life typical 10 million operations.

The AC-3 rate of 750 ops/hour is what drives motor switching duty; you can sustain that pace without thermal derating as long as ambient stays within -25... +60 °C. Mounting position allows ±90° rotation and ±22.5° front/back tilt, so cabinet layout is flexible. Main power terminals accept 25–120 mm² stranded cable — common for S6 frame. Auxiliary terminals handle two conductors each up to 4 mm², enough for feedback loops and status lamps in the same terminations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the depth of this contactor?

The total depth is 170 mm (mounting surface to farthest protrusion).

Can I substitute 3RT1056-6AP36 with this 6AF36 variant?

Both share the same S6 frame and all mechanical/electrical ratings except coil voltage. If your panel was wired for a different coil (e.g., 3RT1056-6AP36), you must verify coil voltage compatibility before substitution. Terminal blocks and mounting grid are identical.

What auxiliary wire sizes does the built-in switch accept?

The auxiliary terminals accept 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²) stranded, with a maximum of 2x (0.75... 4 mm²) per terminal.
