The headline rating is 10 A at AC-12 (resistive loads at 24 V), which is the maximum continuous current the contacts can carry in that duty class. For inductive switching at higher voltages, the rated current drops: 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 1 A at 690 V — so the actual load determines whether this contactor holds up. The 4 NO configuration means it can switch four independent control circuits simultaneously, typical for signaling, interlocking, or extending the auxiliary contacts of a larger power contactor. The solid wire capacity accepts 2x 0.5–1.5 mm², 2x 0.75–2.5 mm², or 2x 4 mm² — enough for most control wiring without needing ferrules, though ferruled stranded is also fine.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3RH1140-1AV00 and how do I get a price?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
What is the contact configuration of 3RH1140-1AV00?
It has 4 normally-open (NO) instantaneous contacts. There are no delayed, lagging, or make-before-break contacts.
What is the rated operational current at AC-12?
The maximum operating current at AC-12 is 10 A. For inductive loads at higher voltages, derate per the switching capacity table: 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 1 A at 690 V.
What mounting options does 3RH1140-1AV00 support?
It supports both screw fixing and snap-on mounting onto a DIN rail. The mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° tilt forward/backward.
