Product details

The screw-type coil terminals are what you see here; no spring-cage option on this order code. At 45 mm wide, 58 mm tall, and 73 mm deep, it fits the S00 footprint — tight enough for a crowded DIN rail but still leaves room for wiring.

The contactor's main contacts are rated for 10 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, and 3 A at 400 V. At 230 V it carries a 1 hp motor load — that's the figure you'd use for a small pump or fan. These are the DC-13 / AC-15 auxiliary contact ratings, so they govern the control-circuit switching, not the main power path. The main contact range is listed as 20 to 12, which likely refers to the wire size range for the main power terminals.

Terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and twin-wire terminations are supported: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². That covers most control-circuit wiring in a panel — no need for ferrules on solid wire, but stranded should be ferruled for reliable contact under the screw.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3RT2016-1BM42's depth and width for panel layout?

The depth is 73 mm, width is 45 mm, and height is 58 mm. Clearance requirements are 10 mm upwards, forwards, and downwards, and 6 mm at the side.

What wire sizes does the 3RT2016-1BM42 accept?

Solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and twin-wire terminations: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm².

Will 3RT2016-1BM42 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2016-1AG62 without rewiring?

Both are Size S00 SIRIUS contactors with the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is the coil voltage and terminal type — the 1BM42 has a screw-type coil, while the 1AG62 may differ. Check the coil voltage matches your control circuit before swapping; the main power wiring and auxiliary contacts are compatible.
