Active · In production

The Siemens 3RT20162AF02 is a S00-frame magnetic contactor in the SIRIUS 3RT2 series, rated 9 A AC-3 at 690VAC maximum, with a 110VAC coil and integrated 1NC auxiliary contact. Spring-clamp main terminals eliminate torque-check rework on the shop floor, while the built-in auxiliary block feeds safety-chain status without requiring a separate relay module. Operate and release times of 35 ms and 14 ms respectively supp

Product details

Siemens 3RT20162AF02 Electromechanical Contactor

Application Context

In a motor branch or lighting feeder, the 3RT20162AF02 occupies the DIN-rail slot next to an overload relay and a miniature circuit breaker, providing the electrically held switching element that isolates and energizes the load side of the circuit. The contactor carries a 9 A contact rating at the coil voltage of 110 VAC and includes a spring-loaded (sprung) 1NC auxiliary contact for control-side interlock wiring.

Engineering Verification Checklist

Control circuit supply is 110 VAC nominal; must-operate threshold is 93.5 VAC
Branch load current does not exceed 9 A; coordination with upstream OCPD is required
Auxiliary contact configuration (1NC) matches the interlock or status-feedback requirement
27 VA inrush coil burden is compatible with the upstream contactor coil or control transformer
Operating ambient temperature range 25°C to 60°C is acceptable for the enclosure location
Spring-loaded terminal style is selected; verify tooling and wire ferrule compatibility for field wiring
DIN rail mounting clearance allows proper heat dissipation and side-by-side device spacing
35 ms operate time is acceptable for the motor starting or sequential interlocking sequence

Similar Catalog Parts

The following in-catalog alternates share the 3RT2016 base number and S00 frame size; all require the user's own selection and qualification.

MPN	Coil Voltage	Contact Config	Coil Power
3RT20162AF02 (primary)	110 VAC	1NC sprg	27 VA
3RT20162AF04	110 VAC	2NO/2NC	24.3 VA
3RT20162AF01	110 VAC	1NO sprg	24.3 VA

Why these are similar

3RT20162AF04 matches the primary at 110 VAC and 9 A but swaps the single NC auxiliary for a 2NO/2NC arrangement; the coil power is lower at 24.3 VA.
3RT20162AF01 shares the same 110 VAC coil and 9 A rating but replaces the NC contact with a normally open contact; power draw is 24.3 VA.
All three use the same S00 frame and DIN-rail mounting, allowing mechanical interchange in the panel layout.

Other 3RT2016 variants in the catalog include lower AC coil voltages (24 VAC, 42 VAC, 48 VAC) and one 400 VAC coil variant; these differ from the primary in control-circuit voltage and must-operate threshold only.

What buyers are searching for

Sourcing engineers and panel builders searching for the Siemens 3RT20162AF02 MPN, its 110VAC coil voltage and 1NC auxiliary contact configuration, or comparing SIRIUS 3RT2 S00 contactor variants for motor-starter DIN-rail assemblies. Queries often include spring-clamp terminal compatibility, auxiliary contact polarity (NO vs NC), coil power draw (27VA), and cross-references to the 3RT2016 base number for BOM standardization.

Engineering notes

27VA coil power is slightly higher than the 24.3VA figure on the 1NO variant—confirm control-transformer headroom when specifying 110VAC pull-in.
Must-operate threshold of 93.5 VAC means the 110VAC coil may not pull in reliably if mains sags below 85% nominal.
1NC auxiliary contact is closed on coil de-energization; verify that downstream PLC input logic matches the normally-closed state assumption.
Operating temperature ceiling of 60°C limits use in unventilated cabinets subjected to high ambient loads.

When to choose this part

Pick 3RT20162AF02 when the application requires an integrated 1NC auxiliary in spring-clamp format within the 9A AC-3 S00 frame.
If the control circuit needs a normally-open auxiliary instead, the 1NO variant (3RT20162AF01) shares the same 110VAC coil and frame but carries 24.3VA coil power.
For dual auxiliary (2NO/2NC) in screw-terminal form, the 3RT20162AF04 uses screw termination and costs more per unit—check whether spring-clamp wiring speed justifies the auxiliary count trade-off.
If 42VAC coil supply is required, the 3RT20162AD02 uses a different voltage tier (42VAC) and must-operate of 35.7 VAC—no direct substitute for 110VAC designs.

Limitations & things to verify

Operating temperature range of 25°C to 60°C restricts deployment in high-ambient cabinet environments without supplemental cooling.
Must-operate voltage of 93.5 VAC means unreliable pull-in on severely sagging 110VAC mains—verify local supply quality.
Stock of 8 units may not support multi-panel builds; sourcing lead time must be confirmed before design lock-in.
Only one auxiliary contact (1NC) is integrated; applications requiring multiple NO/NC auxiliary signals need a separate relay module or a different MPN.

Frequently asked questions

What is the must-operate voltage for the 3RT20162AF02?

The must-operate voltage is 93.5 VAC. The coil requires at least this voltage level to reliably pull in the contactor.

How does the 3RT20162AF02 differ from the 3RT20162AF01?

The AF02 has a 1NC auxiliary contact, 27VA coil power, and 14 ms release time. The AF01 has a 1NO auxiliary, 24.3VA coil power, and 13 ms release time. Both share the same 110VAC coil voltage and 9A contact rating.

What is the difference between spring-clamp and screw terminal termination on SIRIUS 3RT2 S00 contactors?

Spring-clamp terminals (like the AF02) allow tool-free wire insertion and are faster for panel wiring. Screw terminals (like the AF04) require a screwdriver for termination but are preferred in some legacy panel standards.
