3RT20162FB443MA0
The 3RT2016-2FB44-3MA0 belongs to the Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016 series. It is an AC-3 rated 9A, 4kW/400V, 24V DC coil with a built-in freewheeling diode to suppress power failure surges. It features spring-loaded (screwless) terminals with two sets of normally open and two sets of normally closed auxiliary contacts fixed at the factory, making it suitable for PLC DC control circuits.
The 3RT2016-2FB44-3MA0 is a DC diode protection model in the SIRIUS 3RT2016 series, designated with the coil code 'F'. Compared to the standard B-type DC coil, the F-type coil integrates a freewheeling diode, which can absorb induced surges when the coil is de-energized, reducing interference to surrounding electronic circuits (such as PLC output modules) and the risk of component damage. The correspondence between this 'F' code and the diode is clearly indicated in the 2FB44-3MA0 catalogs of the 3RT2017 and 3RT2018 series. This model features a spring-loaded terminal design, allowing for quick crimping of wires without a screwdriver. It also comes pre-installed with four auxiliary contacts: two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC), facilitating the simultaneous removal of the start indicator and interlock protection signal.
