Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1517-1AH00 — Size S00 power contactor for 24 VDC coil control
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1517-1AH00 is a size S00 power contactor rated for 24 VDC coil control, switching 10 A at 24 V rated value.
The 10 A rating at 24 V rated value is the DC-13 switching current for the main contacts — that's the inductive load capability for solenoids, brakes, or DC motor holding coils at 24 VDC. Wire termination accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) maximum — this covers standard control wiring for a size S00 contactor. The screw terminals need a screwdriver for termination, not a spring-cage tool. Mechanical life is typical 30,000,000 operations, which is standard for a SIRIUS S00 contactor in cyclic applications like conveyor or packaging machine control.
The mounting position allows vertical surface orientation with ±180° rotation and ±30° tilt front/back, which covers most cabinet layouts. IP20 on the front and terminals means finger-safe but not washdown — this is for dry indoor panels only, not food-processing or outdoor enclosures without a cabinet.
