The spring-type terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and up to 2x (0.5 to 4 mm²) per clamp, which covers most control-circuit wiring without needing ferrules or bootlace crimps.
At 48 V and 60 V the rating drops to 2 A, and at 125 V to 0.9 A, reflecting the arc-quenching limits of a DC contactor. For AC motor loads this is not the right part; it is a coupling contactor, meaning it isolates control signals or switches DC auxiliaries, not main motor power. Coil draw is 24 VDC with a holding power factor of 0.7 initial, 1.25 full-scale — the magnet coil holds closed at rated voltage, drops out cleanly below the dropout threshold. Mechanical life is typical 30 million operations; electrical life at AC-3 is 750 cycles per hour maximum, and at AC-4 (frequent inching/plugging) it is 250 cycles per hour.
Mounting and Clearance Notes
The contactor is 70 mm high, 45 mm wide, 73 mm deep.
The 3RT2016-2JB41-ZW96 is size S00; it will not drop into a panel wired for an S0 frame without changing the DIN rail footprint and rewiring the terminations. If your panel was spec'd around the 3RT2024-2BB40, the 3RT2016-2JB41-ZW96 is not a direct mechanical substitute.
