Product details

Integrator's note: 3RT2016-1BW42

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016-1BW42 is a size S00 power contactor — the smallest frame in the SIRIUS family, built for switching motor loads up to 3 kW at 400 V AC-3 duty. Coil is 48 VDC, screw-type terminals on both coil and main contacts. Integrated auxiliary switch (1 NO + 1 NC) is wired to the same terminal block, saving a separate aux block on the DIN rail.

Dimensions: 45 mm wide, 58 mm tall, 73 mm deep — fits standard S00 cutout in a 40 mm deep enclosure with clearance for wiring.

For doubled conductors: 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². Strip length follows standard screw-terminal practice — no special tooling required. Main contacts are 3-pole (3 NO), rated for 20 A at 400 V AC-3e.

Rated for 1,000 operations per hour at AC-1 (resistive), 750 ops/h at AC-2 and AC-3 (motor), and 250 ops/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching). Switching times: DC coil pickup 7...13 ms, arcing time 10...15 ms.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to 3RT2016-1BW42?

The 3RT2016-1BB41-ZW97 is a peer variant in the same S00 frame with the same main contact rating, but with a 24 VDC coil instead of 48 VDC. Panel fit and wiring are identical — swap the coil voltage and it drops in without rewiring the load side.

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

Width 45 mm, height 58 mm, depth 73 mm. Requires 10 mm clearance above, below, and forward; 6 mm sideways. Mounts on 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715.

What wire sizes does this contactor accept?

Solid or stranded 0.5...4 mm² per screw terminal. For doubled conductors: 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm².

Can 3RT2016-1BW42 replace a 3RT2016-1BB41-ZW97 without rewiring?

Yes, physically and electrically — same S00 frame, same main contact configuration, same terminal layout. The only difference is coil voltage: 48 VDC vs 24 VDC. Verify your control voltage before swapping.
