SIRIUS contactor, Size S00 — what fits and what doesn't
The Siemens 3RT2517-1AD00 is a SIRIUS contactor in the S00 frame size — the smallest in the SIRIUS family, built for switching loads up to around 5.5 kW at 400 V AC-3. The coil terminals are screw-type, accepting 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² solid or stranded wire. An auxiliary switch is built in, saving a separate add-on block for basic feedback or status signaling.
Panel fit and clearances
At 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, and 73 mm deep, this contactor fits standard 45 mm wide DIN-rail slots. Side-by-side mounting is allowed — no gap needed between units on the rail. Forwards and backwards clearance is 0 mm; upwards and downwards also 0 mm. Side clearance to adjacent components is 6 mm minimum.
