SIRIUS 3RT2016-1AV62 — Size S00 Power Contactor, 24 VDC Coil
The Siemens 3RT2016-1AV62 is a SIRIUS power contactor in frame size S00, with a 24 VDC magnet coil terminated at screw-type terminals. It includes a factory-fitted auxiliary switch and is designed for screw and snap-on mounting onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715.
Ratings and Fit
Rated for AC-3 maximum switching frequency of 750 operating cycles per hour, and AC-4 at 250 cycles per hour — the AC-4 figure is the one that governs severe plugging or inching duty, so size the application against that, not the AC-3 headline. Auxiliary contact ratings vary by voltage: 10 A at 24 V, 3 A at 400 V. The 24 V rating is the full-load ampacity for a typical PLC-level signal; at 400 V the contact still carries 3 A for pilot-duty loads. Operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C, with storage from -55 to +80 °C. The -25 °C low end is the floor for cold panel starts — no pre-heat required for a typical unheated enclosure in temperate climates.
Mounting and Wiring
Mounting position allows +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface and +/-22.5° tilt forward/backward, which covers nearly every panel layout. Clearance requirements: 10 mm upward, 10 mm forward, 10 mm downward, 6 mm at the sides — tight enough for dense DIN-rail packing. Terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and up to 2x 4 mm² or 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²) for paralleled feeds. The screw-type clamp is standard for panel-builds where ring or fork terminals are preferred over spring cages.
