Product details

The contactor's main circuit is rated for impulse withstand at 6 kV, and the auxiliary circuit shares the same 6 kV rating, so it coordinates with standard motor branch circuit protection without requiring additional surge suppression at the contactor itself.

The coil draws 5.1 VA at 50 Hz and 0.27 A at 60 Hz — a low pick-up burden that lets a standard 24 VDC PLC output or a small control transformer drive it without oversizing the supply. At 24 V rated value the contacts carry 10 A; at 230 V rated value they carry 6 A; at 400 V rated value they carry 3 A. These are the thermal current ratings for the main poles, so the contactor can handle a 3 A motor load at 400 V three-phase without exceeding its thermal limits. For DC switching, the ratings drop to 2 A at 60 V and 0.3 A at 220 V — expect to derate further for inductive DC loads.

Mounting and integration details

The contactor measures 45 mm wide, 60 mm high, and 72 mm deep — a compact package that leaves room alongside other S00 devices on the same DIN rail.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

The contactor is 45 mm wide, 60 mm high, and 72 mm deep, fitting a standard three-module DIN-rail slot. Side-by-side mounting is allowed without derating.

What wire sizes does the spring-loaded terminal accept?

The spring-loaded terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.25 to 2.5 mm², with a maximum of 2.5 mm² for the main circuit at AC-1 rating.

What is the rated operational voltage and current?

The main circuit is rated at 400 V at 50 Hz and 400 to 440 V at 60 Hz. Contact ratings include 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V.

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

The 3RT1016-2AP02 is a smaller S00 contactor with screw terminals, while the 3RT1517-2AR60 uses spring-loaded terminals and has a higher 400 V rated voltage. Both share the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so a panel designed for the 3RT1016-2AP02 can accept the 3RT1517-2AR60 without rewiring the rail, but the terminal type differs — spring-clamp vs screw — so the wiring method changes.
