SIRIUS contactor, size S0 — AC coil, spring terminals, DIN-rail mount
The 3RT2326-2AP60: It carries an AC coil rated at 220 V at 50 Hz and 240 V at 60 Hz, with spring-type terminals for the coil connection — no screw torque to manage on the magnet coil. The contactor includes an auxiliary switch with 1 NO + 1 NC main contact configuration, and up to 2 additional auxiliary contact blocks can be attached.
At 600 V AC the rating drops to 0.1 A — this is the limit for high-voltage control schemes and should be checked against the PLC input or relay coil draw. The arcing time is 4-16 ms on AC and typically 10 ms — this matters for fast-switching applications where the contact must make or break before the next cycle.
Panel fit and wiring — S0 frame, DIN-rail clearance, terminal sizes
Required clearances: 10 mm upwards, downwards, and forwards; 6 mm to the side. This keeps the contactor from overheating when packed next to other devices. The coil uses spring-type terminals — push-in for solid or ferruled stranded wire, no screwdriver needed.
