Rated for AC-3 switching duty at up to 1 000 operating cycles per hour, this contactor handles frequent motor start/stop sequences typical of conveyors, pumps, and fans. The screw-type terminals on the magnet coil accept solid or stranded copper from 1 to 10 mm², which covers most panel wiring up to 6 AWG — no special crimp tools needed for field termination. The 45 mm width (size S0) fits tightly on a DIN rail; allow 6 mm clearance at the side and 10 mm above/below for airflow and tool access. Ambient temperature range during operation is -25 to +60 °C, so it can sit in a non-climate-controlled cabinet near a hot process line without derating.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest functional second-source for the 3RT2023-1AF04?
The 3RT2025-1AP04-ZX95 is a close functional peer in the same SIRIUS family, but it is a larger frame size (S2 vs S0) and carries different coil and auxiliary configurations. It will not drop into a panel wired for the S0 footprint without rewiring the DIN rail and terminal layout.
What is the depth of the 3RT2023-1AF04?
The depth is 141 mm, which is the dimension from the DIN rail mounting surface to the front of the contactor.
What wire sizes does the 3RT2023-1AF04 accept?
The main terminals accept solid or stranded copper from 1 to 10 mm², covering typical panel wiring up to about 6 AWG.
What compliance documentation is available for the 3RT2023-1AF04?
As a Siemens SIRIUS product, it typically carries CE, UL, CSA, and RoHS compliance documentation. Specific certificates should be verified against the manufacturer's declaration at the time of ordering.
