Product details

The Siemens 3RF2170-1AA06 is a SIRIUS-brand single-phase solid-state relay rated for 50 A in AC-51 duty (resistive load), with zero-point switching to minimize inrush and EMI on turn-on.

The 50 A AC-51 rating is the resistive load curve — this SSR is sized for steady-state current, not motor starts. The minimum operational current of 500 mA means it won't reliably switch below that; don't use it for dry-contact signal loads. Zero-point switching turns the load on only at the AC voltage zero crossing, which cuts the radiated hash that phase-angle-fired SSRs generate. The ON and OFF delay times are 1 ms plus a maximum of one half-wave — fast enough for most process control loops, but not for sub-cycle precision. The I²t maximum of 6,600 A²·s and reverse thyristor current of 10 mA are the numbers your fuse selection needs to beat. Siemens recommends NH fuses like 3NA6812-6, sized below the relay's rating to protect the semiconductor junction. Derating kicks in above 40 °C ambient; the 94 W power loss at full load (94 VA) has to be shed into the panel air.

Screw-type terminals on both main and control circuits accept 1x (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) or 2x (0.5 to 1.0 mm²) solid/stranded for the control side, and 1.5 to 6 mm² (or 2x 14-10 AWG) for the power loop.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation is available for this SSR?

The part carries a RoHS compliance date of 05/28/2009 and is UL 508 rated at 50 A. Expect standard Siemens declarations for CE and REACH with the shipment.

What are the key dimensions for panel layout?

Width is 22.5 mm, height 85 mm, depth 48 mm — it occupies a single 22.5 mm DIN-rail slot or screw-fixing footprint.

Can this relay switch DC loads?

The control circuit is rated for DC at 30 V (drawing 13 mA), but the main contacts are AC-only — the zero-point switching circuit requires an AC waveform to detect the zero crossing.
