Product details

It carries 3 instantaneous normally-open main contacts plus one normally-closed auxiliary contact, all rated at 12 A per contact. The coil is a 24 VDC type with a pick-up threshold of 0.85 x rated voltage and a drop-out of 1.1 x rated voltage, so it holds cleanly at nominal 24 V and drops out reliably below about 20.4 V.

Spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, which speeds wiring and eliminates screw torque checks.

The mechanical life is 10 million cycles typical, so it outlasts most panel refreshes. Operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C, storage -55 to +80 °C, and it's rated for altitudes up to 2 000 m without derating. The IP20 finger-safe enclosure on the front and terminals means it's safe for open-panel installation where qualified personnel access the enclosure.

Switching performance and coil characteristics

Operating time at DC is 7 to 10 ms, arcing time 10 to 15 ms — fast enough for most motor start/stop sequences. The maximum switching rate at AC-1 (resistive load) is 1 000 operations per hour. Coil inrush at 24 VDC is 10 A, dropping to a holding current that varies with voltage: 2 A at 60 VDC, 1 A at 110 VDC, 0.3 A at 220 VDC. For AC coils, draw is 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.8 A at 440 V. For DC-13 (solenoid) loads at 24 V, the maximum permissible current is 0.01 A — this is a signal-level switching spec, not a power contact rating.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

Width is 45 mm, height 60 mm, depth 72 mm. Side-by-side mounting requires only 6 mm clearance to adjacent devices.

What wire sizes does the spring terminal accept?

The spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors per the main circuit specification.

Does this contactor drop into a panel designed for the 3RT1015-1BB42?

Both are S00 frame size contactors on a 35 mm DIN rail, so the mechanical footprint is the same. However, the 3RT1517-2BB48-0KT7 uses spring-loaded terminals while the 3RT1015-1BB42 uses screw terminals, so the wiring method differs. Verify coil voltage and contact configuration match your circuit before substitution.
