Product details

SIRIUS S00 power contactor — 400 V AC coil, DC-rated switching

It carries a 400 V AC 50/60 Hz coil and is rated for DC switching up to 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — so it handles a range of DC loads from solenoids to small DC motors, not just AC motor duty. The contactor snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022 and accepts screw terminals for the main circuit, with wire sizes from 0.5 to 4 mm². The coil draws 4.4 VA at 50 Hz with a power factor of 0.27 at 60 Hz — a low pull-in burden for the control transformer. Operating time is 4 to 30 ms on AC and 25 to 100 ms on DC, arcing time 10 to 15 ms, so it's fast enough for most sequencing but not for high-speed synchronous switching.

Mounts on 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022; the S00 footprint is 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, 72 mm deep. The vertical mounting surface can be rotated ±180° or tilted ±30° front/back — flexible for tight enclosures. The auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 0 NC) each carry 9 A rated — enough for pilot duty or PLC input feedback. The main circuit withstands 6 kV impulse voltage, suitable for 400 V distribution with typical overvoltage category III.

Environmental limits

Maximum altitude 2 000 m without derating. Mechanical endurance is 30 million operations typical; maximum switching frequency is 1 000 cycles/hour at AC-1.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RT1516-1AV00?

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. Submit a request through the storefront for a firm quote and lead time.

What is 3RT1516-1AV00's listed depth?

The depth is 72 mm. Combined with a width of 45 mm and height of 57.5 mm, it fits the standard S00 footprint.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The main circuit 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) solid or stranded wire.

Will 3RT1516-1AV00 drop into a panel specified for 3RT1016-1AR11?

Both are SIRIUS S00 contactors with the same mounting footprint and DIN rail clip, so mechanical fit is identical. However, the 3RT1516-1AV00 has a 400 V AC coil, while the 3RT1016-1AR11 uses a different coil voltage — verify control voltage compatibility before substituting.
