Panel-fit and mounting
The 3RT2015-2CP04-3MA0 is a Size S00 power contactor in the SIRIUS family, with a 45 mm width that fits standard DIN-rail enclosures. Fastening method is screw and snap-on mounting onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, so it clips into the same rail as your terminal blocks and motor starters. Mounting position is flexible: +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface, and can be tilted forward/backward by +/-22.5° on a vertical surface. Clearances: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, 6 mm at the side. Dimensions are 121 mm depth, 45 mm width, 70 mm height — compact enough for dense panel layouts where space is tight.
Termination and wiring
The magnet coil uses spring-type terminals — no screwdriver needed for the coil connection, which speeds up panel wiring. Main contact terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and can take two conductors per terminal (2x 0.5 to 4 mm²). No auxiliary switch is included on this variant — if you need aux contacts for feedback or interlocking, you'll add them separately.
Duty ratings and switching frequency
This contactor is rated for AC-1 (resistive), AC-2, AC-3, and AC-4 duty classes, with maximum switching frequencies: 1000 operations/hour at AC-1, 750/h at AC-2 and AC-3, and 250/h at AC-4. The AC-3e rating also caps at 750/h. These limits govern how fast you can cycle the contactor in motor-starting or resistive-load applications — exceeding them shortens life or causes weld risk. Switching capacity at DC voltages: 6 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.14 A at 440 V. For DC loads, the arcing time is 4 to 15 ms at AC, and the contactor is rated for 0.25 A holding current at 50/60 Hz. Motor horsepower rating at 230 V is 0.75 hp — useful for small pump or fan motors in the sub-1 hp range.
Environmental and lifecycle
Operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C; storage range is -55 to +80 °C. The storage limit governs handling and warehousing, not running — the contactor can sit in a cold warehouse but must be within operating range when energized. Typical mechanical endurance is 10 million operations — a high-cycle figure that suits frequent switching in conveyor or packaging lines.
