This variant includes an integrated auxiliary switch (1 NO + 1 NC by default on the S00 frame), which saves a separate aux block and one DIN slot. The coil terminals are screw-type, matching the main power terminals — consistent termination method across the device.
Electrical life depends on the switching category: at AC-1 (resistive loads like heaters) it can cycle up to 1,000 operations per hour; at AC-3 (standard squirrel-cage motors) it's 750 per hour; at AC-4 (plugging/inching duty) it drops to 250 per hour. For a conveyor line running at 30 starts per hour, that AC-3 figure leaves ample headroom. The auxiliary contact ratings are given per voltage: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48/60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 3 A at 400 V. These are the make/break capacities for the aux circuit — a 24 VDC PLC output driving a relay coil will see the 10 A capability, while a 220 VAC pilot light is limited to 0.3 A. The 2 hp rating at 230 V confirms motor-switching capability on single-phase loads. The 60 °C ceiling is the limiting factor inside a sealed enclosure — derating may apply above 40 °C, but the datasheet's thermal curve (not reproduced here) governs that.
Wiring and clearances
For double ferrules, the spec allows 2×(0.5–1.5 mm²), 2×(0.75–2.5 mm²), or 2×4 mm². Depth is 73 mm, height 58 mm.
The 3RT2018 is a higher-rated variant in the same S00 frame — same footprint, same DIN rail clip, same terminal layout.
