Product details

SIRIUS size S6 power contactor — 96-127 V AC coil

It carries a 96-127 V AC coil with a pickup threshold of 0.8x rated value, meaning the coil pulls in reliably at about 77 V AC and holds through the nominal range. Main power terminals accept stranded conductors from 25 up to 120 mm² — sized for the larger cable lugs common on 100+ A motor circuits. The MTBF is listed at 75 years — a reliability figure that reflects the expected mean time between failures under continuous rated operation, not a warranty or service-life guarantee. Switching frequency varies by duty class: up to 750 cycles/hour for AC-1, AC-3, and AC-3e loads, 300 cycles/hour for AC-2, and 130 cycles/hour for AC-4. The auxiliary switch is included as standard, with screw-type coil terminals.

The size S6 contactor measures 172 mm high, 120 mm wide, and 170 mm deep. It is fastened with screw fixing through a single 9 mm mounting hole. These spacings allow for heat dissipation and arc-chamber venting — the arcing time is 10-15 ms. The main power terminals accept 25-120 mm² stranded, while the auxiliary and coil terminals use screw-type connections accepting 0.5-4 mm² solid or stranded wire (dual-entry for 0.5-1.5 mm² and 0.75-2.5 mm²).

Frequently asked questions

What is the MTBF of 3RT1056-6SF36?

The listed MTBF is 75 years. This is a statistical reliability figure under continuous rated conditions, not a service-life guarantee.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3RT1056-6SF36?

The 3RT1056-1AB36 is a size S6 SIRIUS contactor with a different coil voltage (typically 24 V DC or similar low-voltage DC). The 3RT1056-6SF36 uses a 96-127 V AC coil. Panel fit and main terminal ratings are the same frame, but the coil circuit is different — verify coil voltage compatibility before substituting.

Where can I buy 3RT1056-6SF36?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
