Product details

SIRIUS 3RT2516-1XF40-0LA2 — Size S00 Contactor with 72-125 V DC Coil

It carries screw-type terminals for the magnet coil and includes an auxiliary switch.

The DC coil operates from 72 V to 125 V DC — a common control voltage range in 110 V DC substation or industrial control circuits. The contactor's main contacts are rated for switching loads at various voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, 7.6 A at 480 V, 2 A at 500 V, and 9 A at 600 V. At 230 V, the rating is 1 hp, which tells you it can handle a typical single-phase motor load at that voltage. The AC-4 maximum switching frequency is 250 operations per hour, so it's suited for occasional jogging or inching, not continuous plugging duty. Mechanical life is 30 million cycles typical — the coil and armature will outlast most applications.

Solid or stranded wire termination: accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² conductors. The screw-type coil terminals are straightforward for panel wiring.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RT2516-1XF40-0LA2?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is 3RT2516-1XF40-0LA2's listed depth?

The depth is 73 mm, with a width of 45 mm and height of 70 mm. Clearance requirements: 10 mm upwards and forwards, 10 mm downwards, and 6 mm at the sides.

What wire sizes does the 3RT2516-1XF40-0LA2 accept?

Solid or stranded: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². The coil terminals are screw-type.

Will 3RT2516-1XF40-0LA2 drop into a panel specified around 3RT2016-1AK22 without rewiring?

Both are Size S00 contactors with the same 45 mm width and DIN rail mounting, so the footprint matches. However, the coil voltage differs — the 3RT2516-1XF40-0LA2 uses a 72-125 V DC coil, while the 3RT2016-1AK22 coil is a different rating. Verify coil voltage compatibility before swapping; the wiring termination and auxiliary contact arrangement may also differ.
