The Siemens 3RT5044-1BB40 is a SIRIUS S3 power contactor with a 24 VDC coil, rated for switching motor loads up to 59 kW at 400 V and 102 kW at 690 V (at 60 °C). It occupies a 70 mm wide footprint on 35 mm or 75 mm DIN rail, with screw-type terminals for the main and auxiliary circuits.
Side-by-side mounting is supported, so multiple contactors pack tightly in a panel without derating for heat buildup.
The 24 VDC coil draws 6 A at rated voltage. For 110 VDC the draw is 1 A, at 220 VDC it's 0.3 A, and at 230 VDC it's 6 A. The auxiliary and control circuit terminals are screw-type, accepting 2x (2.5...16 mm²) solid/stranded or 2x (10...1/0) AWG.
Rated for 1000 switching cycles per hour at DC, AC-1, AC-3, and AC-3e duty. At AC-4 (plugging/reversing) the maximum is 300 cycles per hour.
