Product details

Integrator note — SIRIUS S3 contactor 3RT2046-1AQ20

It occupies a 70 mm width, 140 mm height, and 152 mm depth on the rail, with clearance requirements of 10 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 20 mm forwards, and 10 mm at the side. Wire range accepts 2.5 to 16 mm² solid conductors and 6 to 70 mm² stranded conductors on the main circuit.

Duty-cycle switching frequencies and auxiliary contact ratings

Maximum switching frequency varies by duty: 900 operations/hour at AC-1, 350 at AC-2, 850 at AC-3 (and AC-3e), and 250 at AC-4. Auxiliary switch contacts are rated at 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 0.8 A at 440 V. Arcing time is 10 to 20 ms, with a make time of 10 to 21 ms at AC.

Mechanical endurance of the contactor is typically 10,000,000 operations.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3RT2046-1AQ20's listed depth?

The depth is 152 mm.

What wire sizes does 3RT2046-1AQ20 accept?

It accepts 2.5 to 16 mm² solid and 6 to 70 mm² stranded conductors on the main circuit.

Will 3RT2046-1AQ20 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1054-1AB36 without rewiring?

Both are SIRIUS S3 contactors with screw terminals, so the footprint and mounting rail are identical; however, verify auxiliary contact configuration and coil voltage on your specific BOM before substitution.
