Product details

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RH2122-4LB40 is a coupling relay for switching auxiliary circuits, sized for the S00 contactor frame.

The coil is rated 24 V DC with a closing and holding power of 2.8 W — a steady-state draw that a standard 24 VDC power supply handles without issue. The built-in varistor surge suppressor means you don't need to add an external flyback diode across the coil; the suppression is already inside the relay package. The contact block provides 2 instantaneous NO contacts. The continuous current rating varies by voltage: at 24 V it carries 10 A, at 230 V it also carries 10 A, but at 400 V it drops to 3 A, and at 690 V to 1 A. For a 24 VDC control circuit, the full 10 A is available; for higher-voltage auxiliary loads, use the voltage-specific derating curve. For DC loads, the switching frequency is given as 7 to 20 ms — this is the contact bounce/arcing window, not a cycles-per-hour figure.

Dimensions are 73 mm deep, 45 mm wide, and 57.5 mm high.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the 3RH2122-4LB40?

The coil is 24 VDC at 2.8 W. The contacts are 2 NO, rated 10 A at 24 V and 230 V, derating to 3 A at 400 V and 1 A at 690 V. Mechanical life is 30,000,000 cycles. The relay mounts on 35 mm DIN rail and measures 73 x 45 x 57.5 mm.

What is the closest functional alternative to the 3RH2122-4LB40?

The 3RT2016-1BB41-ZW97 is a SIRIUS contactor in the same S00 frame size, but it is a power contactor for motor loads, not a coupling relay for auxiliary circuits. The 3RH2122-4LB40 is the correct part when you need a dedicated auxiliary relay with a 24 VDC coil and 2 NO contacts; the 3RT2016 series is for switching main motor circuits. They share the same DIN-rail footprint and mounting hole pattern, so a panel designed for one can physically accept the other, but the electrical function is different.
