Product details

The 3RT2018-2LF42-0LA0 is a Siemens SIRIUS power contactor in the S00 frame — the smallest in the family, at 45 mm wide and 121 mm deep. The 110 V DC coil uses spring-type terminals, so no screwdriver needed for the magnet wire — just strip and push.

The DC coil pulls in at 110 V nominal, with a pickup threshold of 0.7 × rated value — so it'll hold in down to about 77 V. Dropout time is 7 to 20 ms on DC, arcing time 10 to 15 ms. That's fast enough for most motor start/stop circuits but not for safety-rated instant-off; if you need that, pair it with a separate safety relay. For motor loads, the contactor carries 14 A at 480 V — that's a 7.5 hp motor at 480 V three-phase, typical for a small conveyor or pump. At 24 V DC on the auxiliary side, it switches 10 A, which covers most PLC output cards and indicator loads.

Clearance and mounting position

That helps when you're squeezing it into a tight gland plate area.

Frequently asked questions

What is the depth of this contactor?

121 mm body depth, plus clearance for wiring in front of the spring terminals.

What wire sizes does the main contact accept?

Solid conductors from 0.5 mm² up to 4 mm², with spring-type terminals — no screw torque required.

Will the 3RT2018-2LF42-0LA0 replace a 3RT2024-2BB40 in the same panel?

No — the 3RT2024-2BB40 is a larger frame size (S0 vs S00) with a different DIN footprint and terminal layout. Rewiring and a wider panel slot would be needed.
