Product Description
Siemens 3RT2024-1AL20 3 pole 12 AMP contactor with a 230v50/60Hz coil and 1 normally open (N.O.) and 1 normally closed (N.C.) base mounted auxiliary contacts. This Siemens Sirius contactor is rated for 3 H.P. @ 230 volt, 7.5 H.P. @ 460 volt, has screw terminals and mounts to standard 35MM DIN rail. The 3RT2024-1AL20 is a suitable replacement for the obsolete 3RT1024-1AL20 in both physical dimensions and electrically, though any accessories (auxiliary contact blocks or direct mount overload relays) will need to be replaced as they will not mount to the new series contactor.

DESIGN
The 3RT2024-1AC20 contactor is suitable for use in any climate. They are safe from touch to DIN VDE 0106 Part 100. The 3RT contactors are available screw, spring-type, or ring lug connections. An auxiliary contact is integrated in the basic unit of size S00 contactors. The basic units of sizes S0 to S3 only contain the main conducting paths. All the basic units can be extended with auxiliary switch blocks. Cabinet units with 2 NO + 2 NC (terminal designations acc. to EN 50 012) are available as of size S0; the auxiliary switch block is removable. The size S3 contactors have removable box terminals for the main conductor connections. Ring cable lugs or bars can thus also be connected.
CONTACT RELIABILITY
If voltages ≤ 110 V and currents ≤ 100 mA are to be switched, the auxiliary contacts of 3RT contactors and 3RH contactor relays should be used to ensure good contact stability. These auxiliary contacts are suitable for electronic circuits with currents ≥ 1 mA at a voltageof 17 V.
