Product details

Integrator note — SIRIUS 3RT2045-3AC20

Spring-type terminals on the coil and main contacts — no screw torque to check, just strip and push. The 70 mm width and 152 mm depth fit a standard 35 mm DIN rail (DIN EN 60715) with screw or snap-on mounting; the mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° tilt forward/backward, which helps when the panel layout is tight.

Terminal & wire handling

Main circuit accepts solid conductors 2.5 to 16 mm² and stranded 6 to 70 mm² — the spring cage handles the larger stranded sizes common on motor feeders. Auxiliary contacts take 2x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded. That covers most panel wiring from control signals to power tails without needing adapters.

Environmental & mounting flexibility

That's tighter than many contactors, so panel fill factor is better than average for a size S3.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2045-3AC20 and how is it quoted?

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 is published here.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT2045-3AC20?

The 3RT5045-1AC20 is a peer in the same SIRIUS family, also size S3, but with screw terminals instead of spring-type. The 3RT2045-3AC20 uses spring-type terminals, so swapping to the 3RT5045-1AC20 means changing the termination method — the footprint and mounting rail are the same, but the wiring preparation differs (ferrules vs. bare wire).

What is 3RT2045-3AC20's listed depth?

152 mm.

What solid conductor range does 3RT2045-3AC20 accept?

2.5 to 16 mm² solid on the main circuit.

Will 3RT2045-3AC20 drop into a panel specified around 3RT5045-1AC20 without rewiring?

The mounting footprint and DIN rail position are the same — both are size S3. The difference is terminal type: 3RT2045-3AC20 uses spring-type terminals, while 3RT5045-1AC20 uses screw terminals. If the panel was wired for screw terminals (ring or fork lugs), the spring cage on this part requires ferruled stranded or bare solid wire — no lugs. So the panel wiring method must change.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT2045-3AC20?

The evidence does not list specific certifications (UL, CSA, CE, RoHS, REACH) for this order code. Standard Siemens SIRIUS contactors typically carry CE and UL/CSA markings, but confirm the exact documentation with the supplier at quote time.
