The Siemens 3RT2516-2BA40 is a SIRIUS contactor in frame size S00, designed for switching loads up to 10 A at 24 V DC and 10 A at 230 V AC. The coil is 24 V DC, terminated with spring-type terminals, and the main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals for fast wiring.
Switching ratings and duty
Rated switching capacity varies by voltage: 10 A at 24 V DC, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 2 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 10 A at 230 V AC, 3 A at 400 V, 0.8 A at 440 V, and 0.1 A at 600 V. For AC loads, the switching frequency can reach 10,000 operations per hour; for AC-1 resistive loads the maximum is 1,000 operations per hour.
Environmental and wiring
The coil connection uses spring-type terminals; the main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals.
