Connection methods
The contactors are available with screw terminals (box terminals
or flat connectors) or with spring-type terminals.
Devices of the 3TK2 series are also available for connection with
flat connectors and solder pin connectors.
As an option the devices of the 3RT2 series are also available for
connection with ring terminal lugs, particularly versions for North
America and Japan.

When connecting cable lugs according to DIN 46235, use 3RT19 56-4EA1
terminal cover for conductor cross-sections from 95 mm2 to ensure phase
spacing.
2) When connecting cable lugs according to DIN 46234, the 3RT19 66-4EA1
terminal cover must be used for conductor cross-sections of 240 mm² and
more as well as DIN 46235 for conductor cross-sections of 185 mm² and
more to keep the phase clearance.
3)
If two different conductor cross-sections are connected to one clamping
point, both cross-sections must lie in the range specified.

Contactors for Special Applications

3TK20 contactors,
4-pole, 4 kW

■ Overview ■ Application
Standards Contactors with plug-in terminals
IEC 60947-1, EN 60947-1, The main area of application for the 3TK2 contactors with flat
IEC 60947-4-1, EN 60947-4-1 connectors is in household equipment. These contactors are
also suitable for simple electric controllers.
The contactors are suitable for use in any climate. The contac-
tors with screw terminals are finger-safe according to EN 50274. No auxiliary switch blocks can be retrofitted.
Connection methods
The contactors are available in versions with screw terminals,
6.3 mm plug-in terminals and solder pin connections for solder-
ing in printed circuit boards.
The contactors 3TK2 with 6.3 mm x 0.8 mm flat connectors are
4

coded and can be used in the plug-in base with solder pin con-
nections for printed circuit boards (see "Accessories").
