S00 Power Contactor, 24 VDC Coil — Panel Fit and Ratings
The Siemens 3RT6016-1BB42 is a SIRIUS S00 power contactor with a 24 VDC coil, rated for motor switching up to 7.5 kW at 230 V, 13 kW at 400 V, and 22 kW at 690 V (all at 60 °C ambient). It snaps onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 50022 and accepts screw-type terminals for the main and auxiliary circuits. The S00 frame keeps the footprint compact: 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm high, 73 mm deep, leaving room for side-by-side mounting without derating.
AC-3 Motor Duty and Switching Cycles
Rated for AC-3 duty up to 690 V, the contactor handles the inductive load of squirrel-cage motors — the common case for conveyors, pumps, and fans. The maximum switching rate at AC-3 is 750 cycles per hour; at AC-4 (plugging/reversing) it drops to 250 cycles per hour. For DC switching, the coil draws 6 A at 24 V rated value, with lower currents at higher voltages (1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V). The mechanical life is rated at 30 million operations typical.
Mounting and Environmental Limits
Mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm DIN rail. The mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° tilt forward/backward. Operating temperature range is -25 to +60 °C; storage range is -55 to +80 °C. Pollution degree 3 (conductive pollution) — suitable for industrial control panels without additional sealing. The auxiliary switch extension is supported (product extension auxiliary switch: yes).
