The 3RT1056-6AT36-0UA0: Mounting is by screw fixing through a single 9 mm hole, with the contactor body sized at 172 mm high by 120 mm wide by 170 mm deep. The coil connection uses screw-type terminals, and the auxiliary switch is integrated, so no separate add-on block is needed for basic status feedback.
Duty-cycle and operating life
Electrical life depends on duty: AC-1 (resistive loads) allows up to 800 operations per hour, AC-3 (squirrel-cage motors, starting only) allows 750 ops/h, AC-2 (slip-ring motors) drops to 300 ops/h, and AC-4 (plugging/inching) is the hardest at 130 ops/h. The AC-3e rating also sits at 750 ops/h, matching the standard AC-3 figure.
Environmental and auxiliary ratings
The auxiliary contacts are rated for 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, and 1 A at 110 V, which covers typical PLC input or relay coil loads in the control circuit.
