The Siemens 3RH1362-2BB40-ZW95 is a SIRIUS auxiliary contactor — size S00, with six normally-open instantaneous contacts and a 24 VDC coil. It's the part you reach for when you need to multiply control signals from a PLC output or a larger contactor's auxiliary block, not switch main motor current. The coil pulls 3.2 W on DC, both closing and holding, so it's a steady load on a 24 VDC supply.
The contact ratings are given per voltage point, not a single blanket figure: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 2 A at 500 V, 1 A at 690 V. That's the thermal current the contacts can handle in AC-15 or DC-13 duty — use the voltage that matches your control circuit. The 6 kV rated surge voltage resistance (impulse withstand) means it's coordinated for standard 400 V industrial panels without extra suppression. Contact reliability is spec'd at one incorrect switching operation per 100 million cycles at 17 V, 1 mA — that's the low-energy end, where oxide films on silver contacts can cause trouble. For dry-contact PLC inputs or low-voltage signal switching, this part is built to not ghost.
That covers most panel layouts without derating. Terminal capacity is 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG) for the auxiliary contacts — standard control wiring, no special ferrules needed.
