Product details

SIRIUS 3RT2017-4KB42 — Coupling Contactor for DC Load Circuits

It mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, fitting a 45 mm wide x 58 mm tall x 73 mm deep footprint — standard for the S00 block contactor family. Its DC switching capability is defined across multiple voltage levels: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.2 A at 440 V, 11 A at 480 V, 2 A at 500 V, and 11 A at 600 V. These ratings dictate the maximum resistive DC load the contactor can break — critical for sizing in battery-backed or rectified DC bus circuits where the arcing time (10–15 ms) and DC switching time (7–20 ms) govern contact life. The coil picks up at 70% of rated voltage (16.8 V for the 24 V coil) and holds across the full operating range of -25 °C to +60 °C ambient, with storage from -55 °C to +80 °C. Maximum switching frequency varies by duty: 1000 cycles/hour at AC-1 (resistive), 750 cycles/hour at AC-2 and AC-3 (motor starting/running), and 250 cycles/hour at AC-4 (plugging/inching) — the AC-4 limit governs the most demanding reversing or jogging applications.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for the 3RT2017-4KB42?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will the 3RT2017-4KB42 drop into a panel specified around the 3RT2015-4BB42 without rewiring?

Both are size S00 contactors sharing the same 45 mm width, 58 mm height, 73 mm depth, and DIN-rail mounting footprint. Panel cutouts and bus-bar spacing are identical, so a direct mechanical swap is possible. However, the 3RT2017-4KB42 carries a 24 V DC coil (versus the 3RT2015-4BB42's coil voltage — verify your control voltage), and its DC switching ratings differ. Confirm the load-side DC voltage and current against the ratings table before substitution.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 3RT2017-4KB42?

As a SIRIUS catalog product, Siemens typically provides declarations of conformity for IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL/CSA listings, RoHS and REACH compliance declarations, and material declarations. The specific documentation set should be requested at order time to support panel certification and GMP validation packages.

What are the key dimensional specs for the 3RT2017-4KB42?

Width 45 mm, height 58 mm, depth 73 mm. Minimum clearance to adjacent components: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, 6 mm at the sides.
