The contact arrangement follows EN 50005, so the NO and NC positions are standard for the SIRIUS family — no surprises when you wire it into an existing panel layout. Rated at 10 A maximum (AC-12), with a 690 V insulation voltage at pollution degree 3 and a 6 kV surge withstand, this block is built for industrial control panels where isolation and fault clearance matter. The 10 A maximum is the thermal current (AC-12), but the real-world switching capability depends on voltage and load type. At 24 V it switches 6 A; at 110 V it drops to 1 A; at 230 V it handles 6 A again (likely a resistive or AC-15 rating at that voltage). The AC-15 rating at 690 V is 1 A — that's the inductive load curve for contactor coils or solenoid valves at line voltage. For DC switching, the block is rated at 24 V for 10 A, 60 V for 4.7 A, 110 V for 3 A, 220 V for 1.2 A, and 600 V for 0.26 A. That's a typical DC derating curve — arc extinction limits the current as voltage rises. If you're switching a DC solenoid or brake coil at 110 V, you have 3 A of headroom; at 220 V, keep the load under 1.2 A. ## Lifecycle — phased out, with a direct successor The 3RH1921-2FA22 is a phased-out product. The official Siemens successor is the SIRIUS 3RH2 series auxiliary switch block. For new designs or BOM-line replacements, the 3RH2 block uses the same spring-loaded terminal technology, same 2 NO + 2 NC contact arrangement, and mounts on the same SIRIUS contactor sizes. The panel footprint and wiring pattern are compatible, so a swap should not require rewiring. Snap-on mounting onto the contactor — no tools needed. The spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) without core-end processing, or 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) with ferrules. AWG equivalents are 2x (20 to 14). The block dimensions are 44 mm wide, 38 mm high, and 51 mm deep — it adds minimal depth to the contactor assembly.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RH1921-2FA22 Auxiliary Switch Block, 2 NO + 2 NC, 1","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RH1921-2FA22 auxiliary switch block, 2 NO + 2 NC, spring-loaded terminals, 10 A max, IP20.
