The 3RH1344-1UM40-0KV0: This is the contactor you reach for when the control circuit needs to multiply a 220 V DC pilot signal into four isolated NO contact paths — for example, extending a PLC digital output to drive multiple contactor coils, indicator lamps, or safety interlock chains. The varistor across the coil means you do not need to add an external suppression diode or RC snubber; the part handles its own back-EMF clamping, which simplifies panel wiring and reduces the component count per rail. Rated operational currents are given per IEC utilization category at several voltages: 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. At 110 V the rating is 1 A, and at 220 V it is 0.27 A — the 220 V figure is the lowest in the set, so if you are switching a 220 V AC load, the contact rating is the binding constraint, not the 10 A at 24 V.
The 3RH1344-1UM40-0KV0 mounts by screw fixing or snap-on onto a DIN rail. That range covers most enclosure layouts without needing a special adapter. Footprint is 45 mm wide by 57.5 mm high by 111 mm deep — a size S00 envelope that fits alongside a 3RT10 or 3RT20 contactor in the same rail section. Terminals accept solid conductors in three combinations: two conductors of 0.5 to 1.5 mm², two of 0.75 to 2.5 mm², or two of 4 mm². That covers the typical control wiring range from 1.5 mm² for pilot circuits up to 4 mm² for short power-feed runs. The screw-clamp design is standard for the SIRIUS family — no special tooling needed beyond a Pozidriv bit.
Shock resistance is specified at 10 g for 5 ms and 5 g for 10 ms, which is adequate for mounting on a panel door or inside a vibrating machine enclosure. The coil draws 3.2 W during closing and holding at DC, which is a constant DC power draw — no inrush spike like an AC coil. That makes it predictable for power-supply budgeting in a 24 V DC or 220 V DC control bus.
The part carries a RoHS substance prohibition compliance date of July 1, 2006, which aligns with the EU RoHS directive. No UL, CSA, or CE mark is explicitly listed in the spec record, but the SIRIUS family is typically certified to IEC/EN 60947 — verify the specific certification marking on the nameplate if your project requires a third-party agency listing.
