Panel fit and mounting flexibility
The 3RT2536-1AB00: Its 75 mm width and 130 mm depth mean it occupies one standard DIN-rail module slot; the 114 mm height clears most 200 mm tall enclosures without a sub-panel riser.
Termination and wiring clearance
Main current circuit uses screw-type terminals — the same termination as the coil terminals — so the electrician carries one screwdriver size for the whole contactor.
Auxiliary contact capacity and switching duty
An auxiliary switch is included as standard — no separate add-on block needed for basic status feedback to the PLC or indicator lamp.
Environmental tolerance and storage
Side-by-side mounting is permitted — multiple contactors can be ganged on the same DIN rail without spacing, saving panel width when building motor starter groups.
The auxiliary switch is integral, so the kitting check is one line item per contactor, no separate add-on.
