The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2317-2BB40-ZW97 is a size S00 contactor with a 24 VDC coil, rated 12 A at 400 V in AC-3 duty — that's the motor-switching current, so it handles a 5.5 kW three-phase induction motor at 400 V. Coil pick-up and drop-out timing is 7 to 13 ms DC, with an arcing time of 10 to 15 ms — fast enough for most PLC-controlled sequences but worth checking if your cycle demands sub-10 ms break. Spring-loaded terminals on both the main and auxiliary circuits accept 0.5 to 4 mm² stranded or 0.5 to 2.5 mm² solid, so no special crimp tooling needed for panel wiring.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT2317-2BB40-ZW97?
The 3RT2015-2BF42 is a size S00 contactor in the same SIRIUS family, but its coil voltage and auxiliary contact configuration may differ — verify the coil rating and auxiliary specs before substituting.
What is the depth of 3RT2317-2BB40-ZW97?
The depth is 73 mm.
What solid conductor cross-section does 3RT2317-2BB40-ZW97 accept?
It accepts 2x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) solid conductors on the spring-loaded terminals.
Will 3RT2317-2BB40-ZW97 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2015-2BF42 without rewiring?
Both are size S00 contactors on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical — but the coil voltage and auxiliary contact arrangement may differ, so check those before direct replacement.
