Panel Fit and Mounting
The 3RT2017-1AP04-3MA0 is a Size S00 power contactor from the Siemens SIRIUS family, designed for screw and snap-on mounting onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715. Its 45 mm width and 58 mm height keep panel fill-factor tight — three units fit in a standard 145 mm wide enclosure slot. Depth of 117 mm leaves clearance for front-of-panel wiring without deep gland plates.
Coil and Switching Ratings
The magnet coil is screw-type terminals, rated 24 VDC. At 24 V the contactor carries 6 A; at 230 V it handles 2 hp. For 400 V three-phase motor loads, the rated operational current is 3 A. Mechanical life is typical 10,000,000 operations — the failure mode here is contact erosion, not the solenoid. Switching frequency at AC-1 duty is 1,000 cycles per hour; at AC-3 and AC-2 it drops to 750 cycles per hour, and at AC-4 to 250 cycles per hour. That AC-4 figure governs jogging and plugging applications — exceed it and the arc chute fills faster.
Wiring and Termination
Main contact terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm². For two-wire entry, the range is 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². No auxiliary switch is included on this variant — if you need a mirror contact or early-make for feedback, plan a separate auxiliary contact block.
Environmental and Mounting Flexibility
Operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C; storage range is -55 to +80 °C. Mounting position allows +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface, plus +/-22.5° forward/backward tilt — useful when the contactor sits on a swing frame or angled sub-panel. Clearances: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, 6 mm at the side.
