Product details

Mounts via screw or snap-on onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail — the S00 frame size keeps the footprint compact at 45 mm wide, 70 mm tall, and 73 mm deep. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, which is typical for a contactor relay bank. That matters when you're squeezing this into a railway cabinet with cable trays and other gear already in place.

Switching performance and ratings across voltages

The contactor relay is rated for a range of DC voltages beyond the typical 24 V and 230 V points: 4.7 A at 60 V, 3 A at 110 V, 1.2 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, 2 A at 500 V, 1 A at 690 V, and 0.5 A at 440 V, plus 0.26 A at 600 V. That spread tells you the contacts are designed for moderate inductive loads across the railway voltage spectrum — not just one sweet spot. The arcing time sits between 10 and 15 ms, and the DC operate time is 25 to 45 ms.

Coil power and environmental limits

The DC magnet coil draws 4.5 W during closing and holds at 0.75 W — the holding power is low enough that a 24 V battery-backed supply won't be taxed across a bank of relays. Minimum relative humidity is 10 %, which is relevant for dry-climate or air-conditioned equipment rooms. The substance prohibition date of 2009-10-01 aligns with RoHS compliance — no lead or cadmium in the alloy.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source — 3RH2422-1AB00?

The 3RH2422-1AB00 is a functional peer within the SIRIUS contactor relay family, but verify the contact configuration (NO/NC count) and coil voltage rating before substituting — the 3RH2122-2XJ40-0LA2 carries 2 NO contacts and a varistor suppressor, which may differ.

Will it drop into a panel specified around 3RH2422-1AB00 without rewiring?

Both are SIRIUS S00 contactor relays on a 35 mm DIN rail, so the mechanical footprint and rail mounting are the same. Check the contact arrangement: the 3RH2122-2XJ40-0LA2 has 2 NO instantaneous contacts; if the 3RH2422-1AB00 uses a different contact count or includes NC contacts, the wiring will differ. Also verify the coil voltage — this unit includes a varistor suppressor, which the other may not.

What compliance documentation does this part carry?

The substance prohibition date of 2009-10-01 indicates RoHS compliance. The part is designed for railway applications, which typically requires EN 50155 or similar rolling stock standards — but the evidence does not list specific UL, CSA, or IEC certifications.
