Product Positioning

The 3RT2023-1KB40 is a version of the SIRIUS 3RT2 S0 frame contactor with a specially added "coil-integrated varistor (surge suppressor)". It features a DC 24V coil with threaded terminals, a main circuit AC-3 rated current of 9A, and a rated power of 4kW at 400V. Since a back EMF surge is generated when the coil is de-energized, if not suppressed, it may interfere with PLC output points or other electronic components in the same circuit over time. This model integrates a varistor across the coil to limit the surge voltage within a safe range, and is therefore often used as a coupling contactor directly driven by PLC digital outputs. The auxiliary contacts maintain the standard 1NO+1NC combination for easy acquisition of interlocking and status feedback signals.

Core Product Advantages and Features
Built-in varistor in coil
The coil is equipped with a varistor (surge suppressor) at both ends. When the power is cut off, the back electromotive force surge of the coil can be limited to a safe range, protecting the PLC output point and electronic components in the same circuit.
Suitable for direct drive of PLC output
After suppressing surges, the interference to the control circuit is reduced, and it is often classified as a coupling contactor that can be directly driven by the output point of a programmable controller (PLC).
DC24V, screw terminal
The coil has a rated voltage of 24V DC. The main circuit and auxiliary circuit adopt traditional screw terminal fastening, and the wiring is stable and suitable for existing distribution panels that require regular inspection.
S0 frame, AC-3 9A/4kW
The AC-3 three-pole main contact has a rated current of 9A, a rated power of 4kW at 400V, complies with IEC/EN 60947-4-1, and has a mechanical life of 10 million cycles.
