The Siemens 3RH1362-1TP00-0KV0 is a SIRIUS auxiliary contactor in the compact S00 frame, carrying six instantaneous normally-open contacts for control-circuit switching. It mounts via screw or snap-on to a DIN rail, with the front face rated IP20 for basic finger protection inside an enclosure. The built-in varistor surge suppressor handles coil suppression at the source, so you don't need to add an external diode pack on the panel layout.
Switching capacity and contact reliability
Rated for 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V, this contactor handles the typical signal-level and low-power loads found in PLC output isolation, motor starter feedback, and indicator circuits. The contact reliability spec — one incorrect switching per 100 million operations at 17 V, 1 mA — means it's trustworthy for dry-contact applications where oxide films can cause intermittent failures on lesser contacts.
Mechanical integration and environment
The S00 footprint (45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall, 111 mm deep) fits standard DIN-rail layouts alongside SIRIUS contactors and overload relays. Mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° tilt forward or backward, which helps when routing wires in a crowded panel. Operating temperature spans -25 to +60 °C, with storage and transport range down to -55 °C and up to +80 °C — fine for unheated warehouses or shipping in winter.
