Product details

Its 24 VDC coil draws 4.4 VA at 50 Hz and 0.27 VA at 60 Hz, with a rated operational current of 10 A at 24 V.

Spring-loaded terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded — no screw torque to check, which speeds wiring on the line. The auxiliary contacts are rated 12 A per NO/NC, enough for pilot-duty control circuits. Storage range extends to -55 to +80 °C, so spares can sit on a shelf in a non-climate store.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

Width 45 mm, height 60 mm, depth 72 mm. It snaps onto 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022 and allows side-by-side mounting without spacing.

What wire sizes does the spring-loaded terminal accept?

Solid or stranded conductors 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) per terminal.

How does this compare to the 3RT1016-2AP02?

Both are SIRIUS Size S00 contactors on the same DIN-rail footprint. The 3RT1517-2AM20 uses spring-loaded terminals; the 3RT1016-2AP02 uses screw terminals. If your panel is already wired with ring lugs, the screw-terminal variant avoids re-termination. For new builds, the spring-loaded version saves install time.
