IEC Magnetic Contactor 2NC 220-240V AC 3P
The SIEMENS 3RA23168XB301AP6 is a three-pole IEC magnetic contactor designed for motor control circuits. It carries a 9 A inductive and 22 A resistive full-load rating with a 220/240 V AC coil voltage. Two normally-closed auxiliary contacts are integrated for interlocking or status signalling. The S00 frame size suits compact panels and standard industrial starters.
Thermals Noise Power
The open-frame design relies on natural convection, so no fan noise is produced during operation. Coil power draw is limited to the 220/240 V AC control circuit, and the main contacts handle up to 22 A resistive load without forced cooling. Screw terminals provide secure connections that maintain low contact resistance over time. The unit mounts on DIN rail or directly on a surface for flexible heat dissipation.
Build Fit Requirements
The contactor measures 3.08 in high by 2.88 in wide, fitting standard S00 cut-outs and DIN-rail spacing. Two NC auxiliary contacts free up separate relay slots for safety circuits or PLC feedback. Reversing capability allows a single device to manage forward and reverse motor direction. Screw terminals accept solid or stranded conductors without special tools. No enclosure is included, so the installer must provide suitable IP-rated housing.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the S00 frame and where do the screw terminals go?
The S00 frame mounts on DIN rail or a flat surface; the screw terminals accept the three main poles and the two normally closed auxiliary contacts.
What parts will need replacement after extended switching cycles?
The main contact tips and the coil are the wear items; the 2NC auxiliary contacts also degrade with use.
At what current does the 9 A inductive rating become the limiting factor during continuous operation?
The 9 A inductive full-load current is the first limit reached under sustained AC-3 duty; the 22 A resistive rating applies only to non-inductive loads.
