The Siemens 3RT2316-1AP00 is a genuine Siemens SIRIUS 3RT23 four-pole contactor designed for reliable switching and control of electrical loads in industrial automation and control applications. It is rated at 18 A in AC-1 utilization category at 400 V and 40°C, making it suitable for non-inductive and low-inductive electrical loads.
This Siemens contactor features a 230 V AC control voltage for 50/60 Hz operation and uses screw terminals for electrical connections. Its compact Size S00 construction makes it suitable for installation in industrial control cabinets, automation panels and electrical switching systems.
The 3RT2316-1AP00 has a 4-pole main circuit with 4 normally open main contacts and an auxiliary switch for control, signaling and interlocking functions. Siemens data also specifies an AC-3 rating of 9 A at 400 V and an AC-4 rating of 8.5 A at 400 V, so the contactor should be selected according to the actual load and utilization category.
With its compact S00 design, 18 A AC-1 rating and 230 V AC coil, the Siemens 3RT2316-1AP00 is suitable for industrial automation panels, heating systems, resistive loads, HVAC equipment, lighting control, power distribution and suitable motor-control applications.
The device has a 690 V rated insulation voltage, 6 kV surge withstand voltage, and IP20 protection on the front and terminals. Siemens specifies a typical mechanical service life of up to 30 million switching cycles.
