The 24 VDC coil uses spring-type terminals, so no screwdriver is needed for the coil wiring — a time-saver during panel build or swap.
The contactor is rated for AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motor switching) at up to 750 operating cycles per hour, and AC-4 (inching/plugging) at 250 cycles per hour. The AC-3e maximum is also 750 cycles/h. The main contact rating range is 20 to 12 A (likely the AC-3 current range for the S00 frame), and at 230 V it carries a 2 hp motor load. The auxiliary contact ratings span from 10 A at 24 V down to 0.2 A at 440 V — so if you're switching a 48 VDC pilot light, it handles 2 A; at 125 VDC it drops to 0.9 A. That derating curve matters when you're using the aux contacts for a PLC input or a holding circuit. Mechanical service life is typical 30 million operations, so it's built for high-cycle applications like packaging or material handling where the contactor cycles every few seconds.
The contactor accepts solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm² for the main circuit, and 2x (0.5 to 4 mm²) for paralleled conductors. The coil connection is spring-type — strip, push, done. That's tight enough for a crowded DIN rail but leave the side gap for heat dissipation. Dimensions are 45 mm wide, 70 mm high, 73 mm deep — a standard S00 footprint that fits most 35 mm DIN rail enclosures. The arcing time is 10 to 15 ms at AC, and the coil draws 0.25 A at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
