Motor and Lighting Load Switching in Industrial Panels
The Siemens 3RT20241AG20 is a size S0 contactor in the 3RT2 series for three-phase AC loads up to 12A per phase at 690VAC. The integrated 1NO/1NC auxiliary block lets you wire feedback or interlock paths without adding a separate relay. DIN-rail or chassis mounting suits standard industrial enclosures; screw terminals accept ring or fork lugs.

Procurement and Commissioning Notes
- The 110VAC coil at 68VA requires a control supply that can deliver inrush; size the transformer or power supply accordingly. Confirm that your 110VAC source can supply the 93.5 VAC must-operate threshold under load sag.
- The 3RT20241AG20 ships in bulk with no integral enclosure; plan for IP20 finger-safe covers if the panel requires it.
- Compare the 1NO/1NC auxiliary count against your interlocking requirements; some sequences need both a normally open and normally closed auxiliary.
- Lead time and MOQ are not published; request a quote to confirm availability against your project schedule.
Bench engineer's notes from raw specs
Use siemens 3RT20241AG20 (CONTACTOR S0 12A 110VAC 1NO/1NC); category path: Relays > Contactors (Electromechanical); confirmed specs: series: 3RT2; Mounting Type: Chassis Mount, DIN Rail; Package: Bulk; Product Status: Active only after you have mapped its headline specs to the machine safety concept: supply rails, fault behavior, and any mandatory approvals implied by the raw fields—not generic catalog guesses.
