3RT2036-1AL20 SIEMENS PLC Programmable Logic Controller -20°C To 60°C 100–240 V AC
3RT2036-1AL20 Description:
The 3RT2036-1AL20 is a robust, high-performance 3-pole contactor from the Siemens SIRIUS 3RT series, designed for reliable switching of electrical loads in industrial and commercial applications. This AC-operated device provides efficient and durable control of three-phase motors, resistive loads, and capacitive loads. Built to withstand demanding operating conditions, it features a compact design, high switching capacity, and long electrical and mechanical lifespan, making it a key component in motor starters, control panels, and power distribution systems.
-
Long Lifespan: Optimized contact system and magnetically stabilized design ensure high electrical and mechanical durability, with up to millions of switching cycles.
-
Compact Design: Space-saving form factor allows for high-density mounting in control panels, reducing required cabinet space.
-
Low Power Consumption: Efficient AC solenoid system consumes minimal holding power, reducing heat generation and energy costs.
-
Modular Accessory System: Compatible with a wide range of snap-on accessories, including auxiliary contacts (both NO and NC), mechanical interlocks, pneumatic timers, and surge suppressors, for easy system expansion.
-
Clear Status Indication: Integrated contact position indicator (optional) provides visual feedback on the switching state.
-
High Switching Capacity: Designed to handle high inrush currents, such as those from motor starting, ensuring reliable operation under load.
3RT2036-1AL20 Materials & Applications:
-
Housing: Flame-retardant thermoplastic (UL 94 V0 rated) with high impact resistance and good insulation properties.
-
Contacts: Silver alloy (AgSnO₂) contacts for low contact resistance, high arc resistance, and long service life.
-
Coil: Copper-wound coil with Class F (155°C) insulation, designed for reliable operation across a wide voltage range.
-
Terminals: Screw-type terminals with cage-clamp technology for secure, vibration-resistant, and tool-free wiring (for certain conductor types).
-
Applications: Widely used in motor control centers (MCCs), HVAC systems, compressor controls, pump and fan controls, industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and lighting control panels.
