The Siemens 3RH1140-2JC40 is a SIRIUS coupling relay — a compact auxiliary contactor block designed to switch control circuits, signal lamps, PLC inputs, and small solenoid loads in a panel.
Mounts via screw or snap-on to DIN rail. Clearance at the side is 0 mm — it can butt directly against adjacent devices.
For inductive loads at higher voltages, the current capability drops: 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 1 A at 690 V. The 4 NO contacts are all instantaneous (no delayed or make-before-break), so timing-critical circuits need external delay modules. Shock resistance of 10g / 5 ms and 5g / 10 ms covers most industrial vibration environments.
