Product details

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2038-1CL24-3MA0 is a Size S2 power contactor rated for 65 A at 480 V in AC-3 duty — that's the motor-switching rating, so it handles a 3-phase motor load up to that current without welding the contacts on inrush. Mechanical life is typical 10,000,000 operations, and it's rated for 500 cycles per hour at AC-3, so it's built for continuous cycling in a machine or conveyor line.

The 65 A AC-3 rating at 480 V is the number that decides whether this contactor handles your motor load — AC-3 covers starting and plugging of squirrel-cage motors, where the inrush is several times full-load current. If your motor FLA is under 65 A at 480 V, this contactor fits. At 55 mm wide, 114 mm tall, and 174 mm deep, it fits a standard Size S2 footprint on the DIN rail — check your enclosure depth against the 174 mm dimension before committing the panel layout.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RT2038-1CL24-3MA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is 3RT2038-1CL24-3MA0's listed depth?

The depth is 174 mm, which is the dimension to check against your enclosure depth before panel layout.

What is 3RT2038-1CL24-3MA0's listed width?

The width is 55 mm, matching the standard Size S2 DIN-rail footprint.

Will 3RT2038-1CL24-3MA0 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2037-1AL20-ZX95 without rewiring?

Both are Size S2 SIRIUS contactors on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is the same — but verify the coil voltage and auxiliary contact configuration of the 3RT2037-1AL20-ZX95 against this unit, which has no auxiliary switch included and uses screw-type coil terminals.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT2038-1CL24-3MA0?

As a standard Siemens SIRIUS catalog item, it carries CE marking and is designed to meet relevant IEC/EN standards including IEC 60947-4-1 for contactors. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through Siemens documentation channels.
