The Siemens 3RT2016-2EP01 is a SIRIUS power contactor in the compact Size S00 frame, built for switching motor loads in control panels. It measures 45 mm wide by 70 mm tall by 117 mm deep, so it fits the standard DIN-rail footprint without crowding adjacent devices. The coil terminals are spring-type (push-in), accepting 0.5 to 4 mm² solid or stranded wire, which speeds up panel wiring compared to screw terminals — no torque driver needed. Rated for AC-3 switching duty at up to 750 operating cycles per hour, this contactor handles the repetitive start/stop cycles typical of conveyor and pump motors without overheating the coil or main contacts.
Mounting and integration
Mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm standard mounting rail per DIN EN 60715. The mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° forward/backward tilt, giving flexibility in tight enclosures. Clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, and 6 mm at the side. These minimums keep heat dissipation and arc-flash clearance within spec.
