It switches motor loads up to 25.4 kW at 690 V (AC-3e duty) and carries an insulation voltage rating of 1,000 V. The screw-type terminals accept 2x (2.5…16 mm²) solid/stranded or 2x (10…1/0) AWG. For short-circuit protection, the manufacturer specifies a gL/gG fuse rated 160 A.
Panel integration
Side-by-side mounting is supported, so multiple contactors can pack tightly on the rail without derating gaps. The S3 frame footprint is 70 mm wide × 152 mm deep × 146 mm tall — plan the DIN-rail length and enclosure depth accordingly.
Switching frequency & duty
Rated for 900 switching cycles per hour at AC-1 (resistive load), 850/h at AC-3 and AC-3e (motor starting/running), and 250/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching). DC switching is rated at 1,000/h. The mechanical life is 10 million operations typical — the electrical life depends on load current and duty cycle, but the AC-3e rating at 1,000 V gives headroom for 690 V motor circuits.
RoHS compliance with substance prohibition date 03/01/2017. The auxiliary switch extension is supported (product extension auxiliary switch: yes).
