Product details

Fastens by screw or snaps onto 35 mm or 75 mm standard mounting rail. Dimensions are 139 mm deep, 70 mm wide, and 148 mm high — the S3 footprint fits a standard 70 mm DIN-rail pitch, leaving room for auxiliary contact blocks on the side.

Switching performance and coil draw

Rated for 800 switching operations per hour under AC-3 duty and 250 per hour under AC-4 — the AC-4 figure is the one to watch for reversing or inching applications where the contactor makes and breaks under load each cycle. Auxiliary contacts are rated for PLC-level reliability at 17 V, 5 mA, meaning they can switch low-energy signals without oxidation issues.

Shock resistance tested at 10.6 g for 5 ms and 6.2 g for 10 ms sine pulse on AC. The listed short-circuit coordination with type 1 requires a 200 A gL/gG NH fuse (3NA series) — this keeps let-through energy low enough that the contactor remains functional after a fault.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT7046-1AG20 and how is it quoted for volume?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

Will 3RT7046-1AG20 drop into a panel specified around 3RT5045-1AF00 without rewiring?

The 3RT7046-1AG20 is a size S3 contactor, while the 3RT5045-1AF00 is a different frame size. The mounting rail (35 mm or 75 mm) is the same standard, but the S3 footprint — 139 mm deep, 70 mm wide, 148 mm high — is larger than the S0/S2 frames. Terminal spacing and screw-type connections are similar, but verify panel cutout and wire bending space before substituting.

What are the key ratings of 3RT7046-1AG20?

Three-pole, 3 NO main contacts, rated for AC-3 duty up to 690 V operating voltage, insulation voltage 690 V, surge voltage resistance 6 kV. Switching rate 800/h AC-3, 250/h AC-4. Screw terminals for main and auxiliary circuits. IP20 front, IP00 terminal area.
