Product details

SIRIUS S00 contactor, 400 V 50 Hz coil — panel-fit and ratings

This contactor carries a built-in auxiliary switch. The voltage-specific current ratings tell you what the auxiliary contacts can safely break at different DC voltage levels. At 24 V it switches 10 A; at 48 V and 60 V it handles 2 A; at 110 V it drops to 1 A; at 220 V it's 0.3 A; at 600 V it's 0.1 A. For AC loads, at 230 V it switches 10 A, and at 400 V it switches 3 A. These figures govern the auxiliary circuit — a PLC input or a holding relay — not the main power path.

Mounting flexibility and clearance

Side-by-side mounting is supported with a 6 mm lateral clearance. No vertical clearance needed above, below, forward, or backward in free-air mounting — useful when packing multiple contactors into a tight sub-panel.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2516-1AR60 and how is it quoted?

It is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RT2516-1AR60 — 3RT2526-1AD20?

The 3RT2526-1AD20 is a different variant within the same SIRIUS S00 family. The 3RT2516-1AR60 uses a 400 V 50 Hz AC coil with screw terminals; the 3RT2526-1AD20 uses a 24 V DC coil. They share the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail footprint, so a panel designed for one can physically accept the other, but the coil voltage difference means the control circuit must be rewired and the coil supply changed. They are not drop-in substitutes without a control-voltage change.

What is 3RT2516-1AR60's listed depth?

The depth is 73 mm.

What conductor sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The screw-type terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² solid or stranded conductors.
