Product details

The Siemens 3RT2036-3AL16 is a SIRIUS power contactor in size S2, rated 52 A at 480 V — the figure that governs its motor-switching capacity in North American 480 V three-phase panels. Spring-type terminals accept 2x (0.5... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, which saves the panel builder a screwdriver pass per wire. Operating temperature range is -25... +60 °C, storage -55... +80 °C.

Switching duty and mechanical life

Maximum operating cycles per hour: 1 000 at AC-1 (resistive), 800 at AC-3 and AC-3e (standard motor starting), 600 at AC-2 (slip-ring motor), and 250 at AC-4 (plugging/inching). Arcing time runs 10... 20 ms, with an AC operate time of 10... 18 ms.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2036-3AL16 and how do I get a price?

The part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3RT2036-3AL16's listed depth?

The listed depth is 130 mm.

What is 3RT2036-3AL16's listed width?

The listed width is 75 mm.

Will 3RT2036-3AL16 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2015-2AP01 without rewiring?

No — the 3RT2036-3AL16 is a size S2 contactor with a 75 mm width and spring-type terminals, while the 3RT2015-2AP01 is a physically smaller frame. The footprint and terminal arrangement differ, so a panel designed for the smaller contactor would need rework to accommodate this larger unit.
