SIRIUS S0 Power Contactor with Spring-Type Terminals
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2026-2AK60-1AA0 is a size S0 power contactor with a 24 VDC coil and spring-type terminals, rated for motor and resistive loads up to 3 hp at 230 V and 10 A at 24 V. The spring-type terminals accept solid wire from 1 to 10 mm² or stranded 2x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²), so no screwdriver torque check on the power circuit; strip length and ferrule size are the only variables.
Duty Ratings and Switching Life
The contactor is rated for AC-1 resistive loads at 1000 operations per hour, AC-2 and AC-3 motor switching at 750 ops/h, and AC-4 (plugging/reversing) at 250 ops/h. The AC-3e rating matches the AC-3 ceiling at 750 ops/h. The arcing time is a consistent 10 ms, and the operating time at AC is 4 to 16 ms — fast enough for most across-the-line starts.
Mounting position is standing on a horizontal surface.
