The Siemens 3RT2344-1AN20 is a SIRIUS-branded contactor in the size S3 frame.
Size S3 tells you the physical envelope: 140 mm high, 96 mm wide, 152 mm deep. Plan for at least 20 mm forward clearance for arc chutes and wiring. The main contact wiring accepts stranded cable up to 70 mm². The 10 A rating at 24 V AC is the resistive-load figure. At 400 V AC the same contacts are rated 3 A, and at 600 V AC it drops to 0.1 A — that voltage derating curve matters if you are switching a control transformer primary or a small heater bank at line voltage.
Deployment context
The screw-type coil terminals are a field-service detail: you can land the control wires with a standard screwdriver, no special tool needed. The auxiliary switch is already attached, so you do not need to order a separate side-mount block for basic status feedback to a PLC input.
