Product details

It's a current-production part (lifecycle stage: current), meaning it's still an active catalog item, not a phase-out or obsolete number. The coil is rated for 240 to 277 V AC control supply, with a pickup operating range of 0.8 to 1.1 times the rated value. Switching frequency varies by duty: 750 operations per hour for AC-1 resistive loads, 500 per hour for AC-3 motor starting, and 130 per hour for AC-4 plugging/reversing. For a conveyor or pump motor running AC-3 duty, that's a new start every 7 seconds — more than enough for any normal process cycle.

Mounting is via screw fixing with four 11 mm diameter holes — no DIN-rail clip on this size S10 frame. It's a bolt-down proposition: panel builders need to drill and tap, not snap on. Dimensions are 210 mm high, 145 mm wide, and 202 mm deep. That depth (202 mm) is the overall body dimension including arc chambers — make sure your enclosure depth clears it by at least the recommended clearances: 10 mm upward, 10 mm downward, 20 mm forward, and 10 mm at the sides for arc venting and airflow. The magnet coil uses spring-type terminals (push-in or cage-clamp style), accepting 2x 0.25 to 2.5 mm² solid or stranded. Power circuit connections handle 70 to 240 mm² stranded cable — that's substantial lugging for the main poles.

Environmental and auxiliary details

That -25 °C low end matters for unheated pump houses or outdoor enclosures in northern climates — the contactor won't balk at a cold start.

Frequently asked questions

What is the depth of the 3RT1066-2AU36?

The depth is 202 mm. Panel clearance needs at least 20 mm forward of the contactor face for arc venting.

What wire sizes does the 3RT1066-2AU36 accept on the coil terminals?

The spring-type coil terminals accept 2x 0.25 to 2.5 mm² solid or stranded wire. Power circuit terminals accept 70 to 240 mm² stranded cable.
