Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2 contactor de potencia tripolar, 37 A, bobina 24 V DC, bornes de tornillo, 1NO+1NC 3RT20272BB40

Industrial control panels and motor control centers demand reliable switching for heavy loads. The Siemens 3RT20272BB40 power contactor from the SIRIUS 3RT2 series delivers exactly that: a robust 3-pole contactor rated for 37 A at AC-3, 400 V, capable of controlling motors up to 18.5 kW. Its 24 V DC coil integrates seamlessly with PLC outputs and safety relays, while screw terminals ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections. One normally open and one normally closed auxiliary contact provide flexible feedback and interlocking options. This contactor is the workhorse behind conveyor systems, pumps, fans, and machine tools in factories, processing plants, and building automation.

Good to know

The contactor is designed for AC-3 duty, which covers normal starting and switching of squirrel-cage motors. For resistive or slightly inductive loads, it can handle up to 50 A at AC-1. The 24 V DC coil is ideal for low-voltage control circuits, reducing the need for additional power supplies. Always follow local electrical codes and use appropriate protection devices such as motor circuit breakers or fuses. The contactor can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail or screwed directly to a backplate.
