The Siemens 3RH1122-2WB40 is a SIRIUS coupling relay, size S00, designed to switch auxiliary circuits in control panels.
Switching capability and contact reliability
Two instantaneous contacts (NO/NC configurable per the wiring diagram) handle the auxiliary switching. The relay is rated for 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 2 A at 500 V, and 1 A at 690 V — derate as voltage climbs.
Environmental and electrical robustness
IP20 on the front keeps fingers and tools out — standard for panel-mount gear. The coil draws 1.4 W closing and holding (DC), so no thermal derating headache in a dense row. Shock tested to 10g / 5 ms and 5g / 10 ms, and operating temperature spans -25 to +60 °C.
The built-in varistor surge suppressor (across the coil) means you don't need an external flyback diode for DC switching, which simplifies BOM and panel wiring. RoHS compliance date is July 1, 2006, and the part carries Siemens SIRIUS branding with full traceability through the authorized channel.
