Product details

The coil is rated for 230 V at 50 Hz, with screw-type terminals.

This contactor's switching capacity varies by voltage: 6 A at 24 V and 230 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, and 0 A at 690 V. The 0 A at 690 V means it is not rated for switching at that voltage — the internal arc extinction cannot clear reliably at 690 V for capacitive loads. For a 400 V bank, the 3 A rating governs: that's roughly 2 kvar per phase at 400 V three-phase.

Dimensions are 114 mm high, 65 mm wide, 130 mm deep. Conductor cross-sections: solid up to 2x 4 mm² or stranded up to 2x 35 mm² (1x 50 mm² at 60 °C). Maximum switching frequency at 230 V is 100 operations per hour, dropping to 30 per hour at 690 V.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT2636-1AL23 and how is it quoted?

The 3RT2636-1AL23 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What are the key switching ratings for 3RT2636-1AL23?

At 230 V it switches 6 A; at 400 V it switches 3 A. It is not rated for switching at 690 V (0 A). The coil is 230 V 50 Hz AC.

What is the depth of 3RT2636-1AL23?

The depth is 130 mm. Overall dimensions are 114 mm high by 65 mm wide.

What conductor sizes does 3RT2636-1AL23 accept?

Solid conductors: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm². Stranded: 2x (10 to 35 mm²) or 1x (10 to 50 mm²). At 60 °C a single 50 mm² is allowed.
