Product details

SIRIUS S6 Contactor, 220-240 V AC/DC Coil

The Siemens 3RT1456-2AP36 is a SIRIUS brand contactor in size S6, rated for a 220-240 V AC/DC coil supply.

The coil accepts both AC and DC voltage across 220-240 V, with pickup at 0.8x nominal and dropout at 0.8x at 50 Hz, 0.8-1.1x at 60 Hz. The contactor is rated for 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V on the auxiliary contacts — these are the currents the auxiliary switch can safely interrupt, not the main pole ratings. Power wiring accepts stranded cable from 25 to 120 mm², while the coil and auxiliary terminals take solid or stranded 0.25-2.5 mm² (2x per terminal).

Dimensions are 172 mm height, 120 mm width, and 170 mm depth. Mounting is by screw fixing on a vertical surface, rotatable ±90° and tiltable ±22.5° front-to-back.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel fit?

Height is 172 mm, width is 120 mm, and depth is 170 mm. Mounting clearances: 10 mm above, 10 mm below, 20 mm in front, and 10 mm on each side.

What wire sizes does the contactor accept?

Main power terminals accept stranded cable 25-120 mm². Coil and auxiliary terminals accept solid or stranded 0.25-2.5 mm², with 2 conductors per terminal possible.

What is the closest functional alternative to the 3RT1456-2AP36?

The 3RT1056-6AP36-0UA0 is a peer in the SIRIUS contactor family. Before substituting, confirm the coil voltage rating and auxiliary contact configuration match your application, as the frame size and terminal layout may differ.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, the contactor typically carries CE, UL, and CSA certifications, with RoHS and REACH declarations available from the manufacturer. Specific approval markings should be verified against the nameplate for your region.
