Product details

Its 70 mm width, 140 mm height, and 152 mm depth fit standard panel layouts with the following clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards, 20 mm forwards, 10 mm downwards, and 10 mm at the side for heat dissipation and arc containment. The main contacts are rated for AC-3 duty at up to 1,000 switching cycles per hour, with an arcing time of 10 to 20 ms. This switching frequency suits motor starting applications where the contactor sees repeated engagement under load — conveyor drives, pump starts, compressor cycling. The AC-4 rating drops to 300 cycles per hour, reflecting the higher electrical stress of inching or plugging duty. Auxiliary contacts are present, rated at 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 3 A at 400 V. These ratings define the signal-level switching capability for control circuits — interlocking, status feedback, or PLC inputs — and must be derated per the voltage curve, not treated as a single blanket current.

Main circuit wiring accepts solid conductors from 2.5 to 16 mm² and stranded conductors from 6 to 70 mm². The magnet coil uses screw-type terminals. Auxiliary contact wiring accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors. These cross-section ranges cover standard motor feeder cables up to about 50 mm² and control wiring down to 0.5 mm².

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RT2045-1AM20?

The peer MPN 3RT1264-6AP36-0KA1 is a SIRIUS contactor in a different size class; the 3RT5045-1AF00 is a higher-rated variant. Neither is a direct drop-in replacement without verifying mounting footprint, coil voltage, and auxiliary contact configuration against the specific panel design.

Will 3RT2045-1AM20 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1264-6AP36-0KA1 without rewiring?

No — the 3RT2045-1AM20 is a Size S3 contactor with a 70 mm width, while the 3RT1264-6AP36-0KA1 belongs to a different size class. Panel cutouts, DIN rail spacing, and terminal positions differ; verify mechanical fit and conductor routing before substitution.

Where can I buy 3RT2045-1AM20 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price figure is published here.
