Product details

It accepts AC control supply voltages from 127 to 240 V at 50 Hz or 240 to 127 V at 60 Hz, and DC from 150 to 250 V. The varistor absorbs the inductive kick when the coil de-energizes, protecting nearby PLC outputs and extending contactor life.

This suppressor clips directly onto the front of a SIRIUS S00 contactor or motor starter — no tools, no additional wiring space needed. The clip-on fastening method and any mounting position mean it fits into the same DIN-rail footprint as the contactor itself. At 9 mm deep, 28 mm wide, and 46 mm tall, it adds negligible depth to the assembly, which matters when panel depth is tight or when the contactor sits behind a door or cover.

The AC voltage range (127-240 V at 50 Hz, 240-127 V at 60 Hz) and DC range (150-250 V) define the coil voltage this suppressor is designed to clamp. If your contactor coil is 24 VDC or 110 VAC, this is the wrong part — look at the 3RT2916 family for lower-voltage variants. The varistor design means it handles repetitive surge energy without wearing out as quickly as an RC snubber on high-cycle applications, though it does have a finite energy rating (not listed here). The S00 size constraint is absolute: this suppressor physically mates only with S00-frame SIRIUS contactors and starters, not S0 or S2 frames.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative if I cannot get this exact part?

The 3RT1016-2AP02 is a SIRIUS S00 power contactor, not a surge suppressor — it is a different component entirely. For a direct replacement, stay within the 3RT2916 family of S00 surge suppressors, selecting the voltage variant that matches your coil. There is no second-source cross-reference for this specific Siemens accessory.

Will this fit a panel designed for the 3RT1016-2AP02 contactor?

Yes, because both parts share the S00 frame size. The 3RT2916-1BD00-ZX90 clips directly onto the front of an S00 contactor like the 3RT1016-2AP02. No rewiring is needed — the suppressor connects in parallel with the coil terminals already present on the contactor.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The evidence does not list specific certifications (UL, CSA, CE, RoHS, REACH) for this order code. As a Siemens SIRIUS component, it typically carries CE marking for the European market and may have UL/CSA recognition, but confirm the specific approvals for your jurisdiction at time of order.
