The coil pulls 20-33 VDC at 3.5 VA (50/60 Hz), and the inrush peak hits 6.5 A — a number worth checking if your 24 VDC supply is shared with several contactors.
The S3 frame measures 152 mm deep, 70 mm wide, 140 mm tall. Wire sizes run 2.5-16 mm² solid or 6-70 mm² stranded for the power circuit; auxiliary contacts accept 2x (0.5-1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75-2.5 mm²) solid or stranded. Switching frequency depends on duty: AC-1 (resistive) maxes at 900 ops/hour, AC-3 (motor start/run) at 850 ops/hour, AC-4 (plugging/inching) at 250 ops/hour. The AC-3e rating matches the standard AC-3 at 850 ops/hour. Arcing time runs 10-20 ms, pickup and dropout both 38-57 ms.
