Siemens 3RT2028-1AC24 SIRIUS Power Contactor — Size S0, 24 VAC Coil
The AC-3 switching frequency maxes at 750 operations per hour, while AC-4 (plugging/reversing) is rated at 250 ops/h — the duty cycle drops when you're reversing or jogging against the load. That helps when you're shoehorning it into a crowded panel.
Wiring and Clearance
Coil and auxiliary wiring uses 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²). No auxiliary switch is built in — if you need aux contacts, they're added separately. That's the minimum air gap for heat dissipation and arc containment — don't crowd it tighter. Physical footprint: 85 mm high, 45 mm wide, 141 mm deep. The S0 frame is one of the compact sizes in the SIRIUS line, so it fits standard panel layouts without eating up too much DIN rail.
