SIRIUS power contactor, size S00 — spring-loaded terminals, 24 VDC coil
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1517-2GG28-0KT5 is a size S00 power contactor with a 24 VDC coil, spring-loaded terminals on the main circuit, and a 45 mm width that snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022. Rated operational current at 24 V is 10 A; at 230 V it carries 6 A; at 400 V it handles 3 A. The auxiliary contacts are rated 12 A per NC and per NO. The coil draws 3.8 VA at 50 Hz and 0.9 VA at 60 Hz. Arcing time runs 10 to 15 ms; the built-in surge suppressor uses full-wave rectification. Mechanical life is typical 10,000,000 operations. Maximum switching frequency at AC-1 duty is 1,000 cycles per hour.
DIN-rail mounting and panel integration
Front protection is IP20. Spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors — no screw torque to verify, which speeds panel wiring and reduces connection faults.
Rated impulse withstand voltage is 6 kV for both the main circuit and the auxiliary circuit, supporting coordination in standard industrial panels.
