SIRIUS 3RT2317-2AK60 — Size S00 Contactor, 12 A, 5.5 kW AC-3
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2317-2AK60 is a size S00 contactor rated for 12 A at 400 V, delivering 5.5 kW motor switching in AC-3 duty and 4 kW in AC-4 duty at 400 V. The coil is AC-operated, rated 110 V at 50 Hz and 120 V at 60 Hz. This is a current-production part (lifecycle stage: current). Main circuit connections use spring-loaded terminals, accepting solid conductors 2x (0.5... 2.5 mm²) or stranded 0.5... 4 mm². The magnet coil also terminates to spring-type terminals, so the entire wiring interface is tool-less — strip, insert, lock. Mechanical life is rated at 30 million operations typical, with arcing time 10–15 ms and operate time 7–13 ms at AC.
RoHS compliance date is 10/01/2009, meaning the part meets EU substance restrictions from that date forward. The rated impulse withstand voltage of the main circuit is 6 kV, supporting coordination with upstream surge protection.
Integration Notes
Dimensions: 70 mm height, 45 mm width, 73 mm depth — fits standard S00 contactor footprint. Spring-loaded terminals on both main and coil circuits mean no screwdriver needed for wiring; strip to 8–10 mm and push in. Accepts ferruled stranded up to 4 mm² or solid up to 2.5 mm² per terminal. For motor loads, the AC-3 rating of 5.5 kW at 400 V is the figure to size against — that covers a standard 7.5 HP (5.5 kW) induction motor. The 6 mm side clearance is the minimum for natural convection; tighter spacing may require derating.
