Product details

It mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 50022, making it a direct fit for standard control panels where panel space is tight — the footprint is 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, and 73 mm deep. The screw-type terminals accept solid or stranded wire: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm², which covers the common control-wiring gauges for motor starters and auxiliary circuits.

Switching capacity and coil performance

The 24 VDC coil holds at the rated 10 A, but the contactor's switching capacity varies significantly with the load voltage. At 230 V AC it also handles 10 A; at 400 V AC it drops to 3 A; at 600 V AC it is rated 0.1 A. For DC loads, the 24 V rated value is 10 A, at 48 V it is 2 A, at 110 V it is 1 A, and at 220 V it is 0.3 A. This means the same contactor body serves both AC and DC circuits, but the actual load current must be derated for higher voltages — a common point to check when reusing this part across different line voltages.

This makes panel layout straightforward: you can pack multiple contactors tightly in a row as long as the 6 mm side gap is maintained.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2516-1AF00 and how do I get a price?

The 3RT2516-1AF00 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is 3RT2516-1AF00's listed depth?

The depth is 73 mm. Combined with a width of 45 mm and height of 57.5 mm, it fits the compact Size S00 footprint.

What wire sizes does the 3RT2516-1AF00 accept?

The screw terminals accept solid or stranded wire: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². This covers standard control wiring from signal-level to moderate power conductors.

Will 3RT2516-1AF00 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2526-1AD20?

Mechanically yes — both are Size S00 with the same 45 mm width, 57.5 mm height, and snap-on DIN rail mounting. Electrically, the 3RT2516-1AF00 uses a 24 V DC coil while the 3RT2526-1AD20 uses a 24 V AC coil. If the panel supplies 24 V DC, it drops in without rewiring; if the supply is 24 V AC, the DC coil will not hold in.
