Product details

The 24 VDC coil with spring-type terminals means no screwdriver needed on the coil wiring — just strip and push. Rated 10 A at 24 V DC, it handles DC switching up to that current at the coil voltage, and the contactor carries a full set of DC ratings across 24 V through 400 V, so it's not limited to one voltage point.

Width is 45 mm, depth 73 mm, height 70 mm — this sits in a standard 35 mm DIN rail enclosure per DIN EN 60715, with screw or snap-on mounting. The mounting position is flexible: ±180° rotation on a vertical surface, plus ±22.5° tilt forward or backward. Clearance requirements are 10 mm upward, 10 mm forward, 10 mm downward, and 6 mm at the sides — tight enough for dense panels but worth checking before you lay out the rail.

Spring-type terminals on the coil and main contacts accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and you can double up two conductors of the same size in one clamp. That's handy for daisy-chaining control power or paralleling feeds without extra terminal blocks.

Switching Life and Duty

Switching rates vary by duty: 1,000 cycles/hour for AC-1 (resistive), 750 for AC-2 and AC-3 (motor starting and running), and 250 for AC-4 (plugging and inching). The AC-3e rating also sits at 750 cycles/hour. Arcing time runs 10 to 15 ms, and DC operating time is 7 to 13 ms — numbers to keep in mind if you're coordinating with a PLC scan cycle or a safety relay timing window.

Environmental Range

Operating temperature spans -25 to +60 °C, storage from -55 to +80 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to 3RT2016-2BB42-ZW97?

The peer MPN 3RT2016-2BB42-ZX95 is the closest functional second-source. Both are SIRIUS size S00 contactors with a 24 VDC coil and spring-type terminals, so they drop into the same panel footprint without rewiring. The difference is typically a factory-coded variant suffix for specific customer documentation or packaging requirements, not a functional change.

What is the depth of 3RT2016-2BB42-ZW97?

Depth is 73 mm, width 45 mm, height 70 mm. These dimensions include the body only; add clearance allowances of 10 mm upward, forward, and downward, plus 6 mm at the sides.

What wire sizes does the spring terminal accept?

Solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and you can double up two conductors of the same cross-section in one clamp.

Will 3RT2016-2BB42-ZW97 drop into a panel designed for 3RT2016-2BB42-ZX95?

Yes. Both are size S00 with the same 45 mm width, same 24 VDC coil, same spring terminals, and same mounting pattern. No rewiring or re-drilling needed.
