Product details

It carries a 24 VDC coil with a pick-up threshold of 0.85 × rated (20.4 V) and a drop-out of 0.15 × rated (3.6 V), so it holds cleanly down to about 20 V and releases reliably below 4 V. The contactor snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715 and can be mounted in any orientation, including rotated 180° on a vertical surface or tilted ±22.5° forward/backward — useful when panel space is tight. That saves time on wiring compared to screw terminals, especially in high-density control panels where every second counts.

At higher DC voltages the rating drops: 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 3 A at 400 V. For AC motor duty (AC-3), the maximum operating rate is 750 cycles per hour; for AC-4 (plugging/reversing) it's 250 cycles per hour. The contactor has no built-in auxiliary switch; if you need feedback contacts, you'll add a separate SIRIUS auxiliary block.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2016-2WB42 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — confirmed at quote time.

Will 3RT2016-2WB42 drop into a panel that was specified around 3RT2015-2SB41 without rewiring?

Both are Size S00 SIRIUS contactors with the same DIN-rail footprint and spring-type terminal pitch, so mechanical fit is identical. The key difference is the coil voltage: 3RT2016-2WB42 runs on 24 VDC, while 3RT2015-2SB41 uses a different coil. If the panel's control voltage is 24 VDC, it drops in without rewiring; if not, you'll need to match the coil to the existing circuit.

What is 3RT2016-2WB42's listed depth (121 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 121 mm. That's the dimension from the DIN-rail mounting surface to the farthest point of the contactor body — critical for enclosure depth clearance.

What is 3RT2016-2WB42's listed solid (0.5... 4 mm²) on this component line?

The spring-type terminals accept solid wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², and stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm². Two conductors of the same cross-section can be clamped together.
