Product details

SIRIUS auxiliary switch for contactor and starter add-ons

It measures 45 mm wide by 38 mm tall by 75 mm deep — a compact block that doesn't eat up DIN rail space you'd rather keep for the next breaker. Rated 1 A at 24 V, 0.2 A at 125 V, and 0.1 A at 250 V, it handles typical PLC input and signal-level loads without drama. The adjustable time delay spans 1.5 to 30 seconds, which covers off-delay scenarios like staggered pump starts or conveyor sequencing.

Clip-on mounting means no screws, no tools — you push it onto the contactor or starter's side profile and it latches. Wire range accepts 18 to 14 AWG solid or stranded, so you're not fighting with oversized conductors. The terminal block is rated IP20 — finger-safe for the panel interior, but keep it behind the gland plate if the enclosure sees washdown. Compliance covers EN 61000-6-2 (industrial EMC immunity) and basic insulation per IEC, pollution degree 3. That means it's built for the dirty electrical environment inside a control cabinet with contactors and drives nearby.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1916-2GC51?

This part is available to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is 3RT1916-2GC51's depth?

The depth is 75 mm, with a width of 45 mm and height of 38 mm.

What are the contact ratings on this auxiliary switch?

Rated 1 A at 24 V, 0.2 A at 125 V, and 0.1 A at 250 V — suitable for PLC inputs, signal lamps, and control relays.

Will 3RT1916-2GC51 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1016-1BB42?

Both are SIRIUS auxiliary switches with clip-on mounting, so the mechanical fit on the same contactor family is the same. The 3RT1916-2GC51 adds an adjustable time delay (1.5...30 s) that the 3RT1016-1BB42 lacks — verify your circuit needs a timed contact before swapping.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The switch carries basic insulation per IEC, pollution degree 3, and meets EN 61000-6-2 industrial EMC immunity. Standard Siemens SIRIUS documentation (CE, RoHS, REACH) applies.
