The coil is rated for 24 V AC at 50/60 Hz, pulling 0.25 A inrush and hold. That is a standard control voltage for most PLC output cards and panel transformers — no special power supply needed. The main contacts carry 10 A at 24 V and 10 A at 230 V AC, which covers small pumps, fans, conveyors up to about 2.2 kW (4-pole motor on 400 V three-phase).

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy the 3RT2516-2AK60 and get a price?
This part 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.
Will the 3RT2516-2AK60 drop into a panel specified for the 3RT2526-1AD20?
No — the 3RT2526-1AD20 is a Size S2 contactor with a different mounting footprint and terminal arrangement. The 3RT2516-2AK60 is Size S00 and will not align with the same DIN rail holes or busbar connections without panel rework.
What is the depth of the 3RT2516-2AK60?
The depth is 73 mm, measured from the DIN rail mounting surface to the front of the housing. Width is 45 mm, height is 70 mm.
What wire sizes does the spring terminal accept?
The spring-type terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.5 mm² up to 4 mm², with two conductors per clamp position.
