At 45 mm wide and 97 mm deep, it fits standard motor-starter slots without crowding the gland plate. Main circuit connections use spring-loaded terminals that accept 2x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire — no screw torque to verify, just strip and push. Clearance distances: 50 mm above and below, 30 mm to the side, zero front and back. That keeps the arc-quenching zone clear and the heat path open.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest functional second-source for 3RV2021-4AA25-ZW96?
The 3RV2021-4CA25 is a direct sibling in the same SIRIUS 3RV2 family — same Class 10 trip, same 45 mm width, same spring-loaded terminal design. The difference is in the auxiliary contact configuration (the -4CA25 carries a different contact block), so verify the auxiliary wiring before swapping.
Will 3RV2021-4AA25-ZW96 drop into a panel specified around 3RV2021-4CA25?
Yes, the mechanical footprint is identical — same 45 mm width, same DIN rail mount, same terminal type. The swap is a straight mechanical fit; the only check is whether the auxiliary contact arrangement on the -4CA25 matches what your circuit expects.
