Product details

SIRIUS S00 power contactor — 3RT1516-1AR60

The Siemens 3RT1516-1AR60 is a SIRIUS S00-frame power contactor with a 400 V 50 Hz coil drawing 5.1 VA.

Switching ratings and coil draw

Coil holds at 400 V 50 Hz, 5.1 VA; at 60 Hz the apparent power factor drops to 0.27, so verify the control transformer sizing if you're feeding it from a 60 Hz source at 400–440 V. DC switching capability is listed per voltage: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V — these are resistive-load curves, so derate for inductive DC loads like brake coils or solenoid valves.

The S00 frame is compact at 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, 72 mm deep — fits standard panel spacing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the depth of 3RT1516-1AR60?

The depth is 72 mm, with a width of 45 mm and height of 57.5 mm — the S00 frame size fits standard 45 mm-wide DIN-rail spacing.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), and up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) stranded or solid conductors.

Will 3RT1516-1AR60 drop into a panel wired for 3RT1016-1AR11?

Both are S00-frame contactors with the same 45 mm width and 35 mm DIN-rail mounting, so the mechanical footprint is identical. The main difference is the coil voltage — 3RT1516-1AR60 uses a 400 V 50 Hz coil, while the 3RT1016-1AR11 uses a different coil voltage. Verify the control circuit voltage before swapping.
