Product details

SIRIUS Size S00 power contactor, 110 VDC coil

The 110 VDC coil (rated value 110 V) pulls in at 85% of rated voltage and holds with a dropout margin typical of DC-operated contactors — expect arcing time of 10 to 15 ms and a DC switching curve that drops from 10 A at 24 V to 0.3 A at 220 V. This matters for battery-backed or rectified DC bus applications where the coil draw and arc suppression need matching to the supply. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 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 wire.

DC switching capability and thermal limits

The DC switching ratings are load-dependent: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.8 A at 440 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. The 230 V AC-1 rating is 6 A, and at 400 V AC-1 it's 3 A. These numbers define the resistive break capacity — for inductive DC loads, derate further per the application note.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RT1517-1BF40?

The 3RT1015-1BB42 is a smaller-frame SIRIUS contactor (Size S0) with a 24 VDC coil — it will not drop into the same footprint without rewiring because the coil voltage and mounting dimensions differ. The 3RT1517-1BF40 uses a 110 VDC coil and Size S00 frame; a direct swap requires matching coil voltage and frame size.

What wire sizes does the 3RT1517-1BF40 accept?

Screw terminals accept 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 conductors on the main circuit.
