It carries a 24 V DC coil and includes an integrated auxiliary switch, making it a self-contained switching element for a standard 24 V control circuit.
The main contacts are rated for 20 to 12 A — the lower figure likely corresponds to AC-3 motor duty, the higher to AC-1 resistive loads. That means it handles a 4 kW motor at 400 V three-phase in AC-3 service, or a resistive heater bank up to 20 A. The auxiliary contact is rated 10 A at 24 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 2 hp at 230 V — enough to signal a PLC input or drive a small contactor coil. Switching rates are specified per duty class: up to 1000 operations per hour for AC-1 (resistive), 750/h for AC-2 and AC-3 (motor start/run), and 250/h for AC-4 (plugging/inching). For a conveyor or pump cycling every few seconds, the AC-3 limit of 750/h is the governing constraint — stay under that to avoid overheating the contact tips. Electrical life depends on the switched current and duty; at full AC-3 load expect roughly 1–2 million operations before contact wear becomes a concern.
The size S00 footprint is 45 mm wide, 70 mm tall, 73 mm deep — a standard compact contactor that fits most 4-module-wide DIN rail slots. That is tight enough for dense panel layouts but leave the side gap for airflow if running near the switching rate limits. No screw torque to set — strip to 8 mm, push in, done.
