Integrator's note on the 3RT2017-2FF42
It snaps onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715 and can be mounted in any orientation within ±180° rotation on a vertical surface, plus ±22.5° tilt forward/backward — useful when panel space forces a non-standard angle. Rated switching frequency at AC-3 duty (motor loads) is 750 operations per hour, and at AC-4 (plugging/inching) it drops to 250 ops/h. The DC coil drop-out time spans 38 to 65 ms; arcing time runs 10 to 15 ms. The 230 V rating is expressed as 2 hp, matching typical single-phase motor loads in that voltage class.
Spring-type terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 0.5 to 4 mm², or two conductors of the same cross-section (2x 0.5 to 4 mm²). Strip length and ferrule spec follow the usual spring-cage practice — no tool needed beyond a screwdriver for the release slot.
