Product details

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96 is a coupling contactor in the compact S00 frame size, designed for switching DC loads up to 24 V rated value where it handles 10 A, and up to 3 A at 400 V AC. It is a current-production part, still actively manufactured. The coil is 24 VDC with spring-type terminals, so no screwdriver is needed for the control wiring — just strip and push.

Depth is 73 mm, height 70 mm, so it fits most shallow enclosures.

This is a coupling contactor — it's built for frequent switching, not just holding closed. Electrical life depends on load: at AC-1 (resistive) it can cycle 1000 times per hour; at AC-3 (motor starting) it's rated 750 cycles/h; at AC-4 (plugging/inching) drop to 250 cycles/h. The DC switching time is 7 to 20 ms, arcing time 10 to 15 ms. The main contact range is 20 to 12, meaning it's sized for small motor or resistive loads typical of S00 contactors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96?

The 3RT2016-2JB41-ZW96 is the closest peer. Both are S00 frame, 24 VDC coil, same dimensions. The delta is terminal type: the 2KB42 has spring-type terminals; the 2JB41 has screw terminals. Panel fit is identical — no rewiring needed for the DIN rail or enclosure.

What is the depth of 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96?

The depth is 73 mm.

What wire sizes does the 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96 accept?

Solid wire: 0.5 to 4 mm². Stranded wire: 0.5 to 4 mm². The spring terminals accept two conductors per clamp in the same range.

Will 3RT2016-2KB42-ZW96 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2016-2JB41-ZW96?

Yes, the panel fit is identical — same 45 mm width, same DIN rail mounting, same 73 mm depth, same 70 mm height. The only difference is the terminal type: spring vs screw. No rewiring of the enclosure or rail is needed.
