SIRIUS Size S6 contactor, 24 VDC coil, 480/600 V rated
The Siemens 3RT1456-6XB46-0LA2 is a SIRIUS Size S6 contactor with a 24 VDC coil, designed for switching loads at 480 V (96 A) and 600 V (99 A). It includes an auxiliary switch and mounts via screw fixing, with dimensions of 172 mm height, 120 mm width, and 170 mm depth. The contactor accepts solid or stranded wire from 0.5 mm² up to 4 mm², and is rated for 10 million mechanical operations typical.
What the ratings mean for fit
Operating temperature range of -40 to +70 °C covers most indoor panel environments; storage range of -55 to +80 °C handles shipping and warehouse extremes. The mounting position allows vertical surface mounting with ±90° rotation and ±22.5° tilt forward/back, giving flexibility in tight enclosures.
Integration into a panel
Screw fixing means you need a screwdriver and torque wrench — no DIN-rail clip on this frame. Clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards, 20 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, 10 mm at the side. The auxiliary switch is included, so the kit is complete — no separate order for a side-mount block. Wire termination accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded.
