Product details

The coil pulls 3.5 VA at both 50 and 60 Hz, so the control transformer sizing is the same regardless of your line frequency. The coil itself is spring-type terminals, which means no screw clamping — strip the wire, push it in, done. That saves time on the panel build, but if your shop standard is screw terminals, the wireman will notice the difference. Keep 10 mm clearance upwards, downwards, and sideways, and 20 mm forwards for the arcing zone (arcing time 10-20 ms).

Wiring and auxiliary contacts

Main contact wiring accepts solid conductors 2.5 to 16 mm² and stranded 6 to 70 mm². The auxiliary switch is included — you get 10 normally open and 2 normally closed main contacts, plus the auxiliary block is built in. For the coil control wiring, it takes 2x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2046-3NB34-3MA0 and how is it quoted?

This contactor is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quotation — no stock figures or lead-time numbers are published here.

Will 3RT2046-3NB34-3MA0 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1264-6AP36-0KA1?

The 3RT2046-3NB34-3MA0 is a size S3 contactor on a 35 mm DIN rail footprint, same as the 3RT1264 series. The mounting dimensions and rail clip are standard per DIN EN 60715. The main difference is the coil voltage — this one is 20-33 VDC — so verify your control voltage before swapping. The spring-type terminals are a different termination style from screw terminals on some 3RT1264 variants, which may require a wiring change.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT2046-3NB34-3MA0?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, this contactor carries the standard industrial approvals for the class — typically UL, CSA, CE, and IEC 60947 certifications. Specific declaration files (RoHS, REACH) are available from the manufacturer's documentation portal. The product designation is power contactor per IEC.
