Product details

It carries a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and is rated for AC-3e duty up to 1000 V maximum. At 400 V and 60 °C ambient, it handles 121 kW; at 230 V and 60 °C, 70 kW; at 690 V, 65 kW. The coil is rated 220–240 V at 50/60 Hz with a holding current of 6 A at 230 V.

Side-by-side mounting is permitted, so multiple contactors can pack tightly on a DIN-rail panel. Dimensions are 172 mm high, 120 mm wide, 170 mm deep — the S6 footprint fits standard 120 mm-wide contactor spacing. Main circuit connections are screw-type terminals accepting up to 95 mm² cable at both 40 °C and 60 °C ambient.

Switching performance and protection

Built-in varistor surge suppressor across the coil — no external snubber needed for inductive loads. Maximum switching rates: 800 operations/hour in AC-1 (resistive), 750/h in AC-3 (motor), 130/h in AC-4 (plugging/inching).

Compliance documentation

RoHS compliant per substance prohibition date 03/01/2017. The SIRIUS series carries CE, UL, CSA, and IEC certifications standard for the brand — documentation is available with the product on request.
