Product details

Its 42 V DC coil pulls in at 0.8x rated voltage and holds at 3.2 W, so the control transformer or PLC output driving it needs to source that inrush and seal current. The four normally-open instantaneous contacts are rated for switching at various voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.27 A at 220 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 2 A at 500 V, and 1 A at 690 V — meaning the same contact set handles both 24 VDC pilot-duty and 400 VAC motor-circuit interlocking, but the ampacity drops fast as voltage climbs.

At 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, and 72 mm deep, it fits a standard 45 mm slot in a control panel layout.

Terminals accept solid or stranded copper: 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² per clamp, with AWG equivalents of 2x (20...16), 2x (18...14), or 1x 12. That's enough for daisy-chaining control wiring through the same terminal without a separate junction block.

Shock resistance is 10g for 5 ms and 5g for 10 ms, so it survives shipping drops and moderate machine vibration. Contact reliability is rated at one incorrect switching operation per 100 million cycles at 17 V, 1 mA — that's dry-circuit capability for PLC-level signals, not just power contacts. The mechanical endurance is 30 million operating cycles typical.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RH1140-1BD40 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RH1140-1BD40?

The 3RH2140-1BP40 is a peer in the same SIRIUS family but carries a different coil voltage and contact arrangement. The 3RH1140-1BD40 uses a 42 V DC coil with 4 NO contacts; verify the coil voltage and contact count before substituting. The physical footprint (S00 size, 45 mm width) and DIN-rail mounting are shared, so it may drop into the same panel slot without mechanical rework, but the wiring and coil supply must match.

What is the depth of 3RH1140-1BD40?

The depth is 72 mm, with a width of 45 mm and height of 57.5 mm. This is the S00 size footprint for the SIRIUS auxiliary contactor range.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RH1140-1BD40?

The part carries RoHS compliance with a substance prohibition date of July 1, 2006. It is rated for surge voltage resistance of 6 kV and pollution degree 3 per IEC standards. The front protection class is IP20. Siemens typically provides a declaration of conformity for CE marking; specific UL/CSA listings should be verified against the nameplate marking on the unit received.
