Product details

Active production — what that means for your BOM line

The 3RT2448-6KB40-0KS0: For volume procurement, the part is quoted to order against the BOM quantity through independent distribution.

Coil and control circuit — 24 VDC with screw terminals

The magnet coil is rated 24 VDC with a screw-type terminal connection. Inrush current peaks at 2.7 A, then settles to a holding current of 10 A at the rated voltage — the DC hold is higher than the AC equivalent because the coil does not benefit from the impedance drop across the AC cycle. Holding current drops with supply voltage: at 48 VDC it is 2 A, at 110 VDC it is 1 A, and at 230 VDC it is 6 A. The coil is designed for continuous duty within the -25 to +60 °C operating ambient.

Physical fit — Size S3 on DIN rail, with clearance rules

The contactor is a Size S3 frame: 70 mm wide, 140 mm tall, 152 mm deep.

Auxiliary contacts and wiring capacity

An auxiliary switch is included as standard. Up to two additional auxiliary contact blocks can be attached to the front or side. The coil terminals use the same screw-clamp range.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT2448-6KB40-0KS0?

The evidence does not list specific compliance certificates (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) for this order code. Standard SIRIUS contactors typically carry CE, UKCA, and cULus marks, but the exact documentation set should be confirmed at RFQ for the specific variant.
